The Classroom Action Research using Kurt Lewin ’s design consists of four
phases within one cycle, those are: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. After accomplished the first cycle, it will be probably found a new problem or
unfinished problem yet. Therefore, it is essential to continue to the second cycle with the same concept as the first cycle. So that, based on the experience and
outcome in the first cycle, the researcher will follow the planning, acting, observing, and reflecting phases in the second cycles. It is because the best cycle
is commonly occurs more than two cycles. Here are the explanations of what happens in every phase:
a. Planning Phase After identifying and diagnosing students’ reading problem occurred in the
class proven by the result of observing and questionnaire, and then based on the finding, the writer make some planning. The following activities in this planning
