<![CDATA[The use of Class VII Social Science learning media at SMP Negeri 2 Angkona, East Luwu Regency in its implementation has not been maximally used as a learning tool because it is only limited to the use of learning package source books / digital books from the Ministry of Education and Culture. These books are in the form of texts that tend to be informative, so that the teaching and learning process carried out in the classroom is still monotonous and still stuck with the lecture method which only gives students explanations about the material being taught.
