who talked to their friends. Then, the teacher checked the students’ homework taken from LKS. They should write the answers in complete sentences based on the explanation text on the white board. When the teacher said “Any volunteer who wants to write down the answer?” there were few students who wanted to come in front of the class to write down the answer on the white board. So for the rest of the questions, the teacher should call their names. After that, the teacher checked the sentences one by one and identified the mistakes. While she was doing these activities, some students only talked with their friends and paid no attention to the teacher’s explanation. The teacher then explained the generic structures and language features of an explanation text without showing the model of the text.
