reading blog design was revised. To answer the second research question, the writer presented the reading
blog for tenth grade students of SMA BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta. The whole materials consist of eight units for one semester. The writer developed four of them. They
are “The Beauty of Indonesia,” “How to Do It?” “My Travelling Experience,” and “Tell Me a Story.”
The learning activities are divided into three parts: pre-activity, main activities, and post-activity. In pre-activity, the writer designed “Warming Up”
section. The main activities consist of some sections namely “Digging Deeper” which gives a modeling text, “Understanding the Text” which analyzes the
generic structure and language feature of the related text, “Focusing on Grammar” which discusses the language feature of the text, and “Mastering the Text” which
provides exercises for the students. For the post-activity, the writer provided “Wrapping Up” which summarizes the important points discussed in the unit. All
