 Based on the researcher's experience while teaching in Class IX.E of SMP Negeri 3 Pasarkemis, some of the students in Class IX.E did not participate properly during Indonesian language lessons. The learning process is less effective due to the lack of student activity in reading Indonesian language lesson material, the lack of student activity in expressing opinions during the lesson. Lack of student activity in answering questions from the teacher. Students are less interested in taking Indonesian language lessons. So many students divert their attention, such as chatting with their classmates, drawing, and are not enthusiastic when listening to the teacher explaining the lesson.
