could see and observe the object directly, so they did not need to imagine the object. Besides, the students’ writing achievement reached the standard score
requirement since the results of the students’ writing achievement had achieved the standard score requirement. In other words, the actions in Cycle 2 successfully
improved the students’ active participation and their writing achievement. That is why, the actions were stopped.
