9 The students’ participated well, it can be seen that no one absent and low in reading skill.
9 More students asked questions in class. 9 Most of students or groups could bring their reading texts to the class.
b. Weaknesses
A few students still reluctant to read the text. 9 Good students dominated the class.
On the base of the weaknesses, the teacher should to urge on reading to give more activities, work in groups and the text will should table for the students. Using
the good students to support the weak students and try to ask them the questions.
5. Revising the plan
To overcome the problems arising in cycle one, the researcher revised the plan for the next cycle, so that the problems would not occur any more. The plan for the
next cycle would be more focused on improving students’ motivation to read, reducing the domination for good student and more pre-reading activity.
b. Cycle 2
In the cycle 2, the produce is the same with the research in cycle 1. Base on the result of young experience teachers from the cycle 1, the researcher designed
appropriate treatment that was implemented in the classroom. The source of problem in cycle 1 was found which were; some students did not participated fully in
discussion, and students who had more vocabulary dominated in discussion, lack of pre-reading activities. In other to overcome those problems directed reading were
taken from internet in order to increase the students’ interest in the reading. As we know that unlimited texts can we get from internet. Furthermore I asked the students
commit to user to select their own topic and their own text for the next lesson. I believe that when the
students chose their own topic they would interest in the topic so much and they would participate fully. As we know student centered is more accepted. To overcome
the shy students when I asked them to work in groups with other peers who have better performance in reading. In pre-reading activity I used mind-mapping. The
implementation of cycle 2 can be seen in the table below.
