<![CDATA[From the results of observations on the learning process in class VII A of SMP Negeri 25 Semarang, it shows that the interaction between teachers and students when learning takes place in the classroom tends to be one way. So the learning process is not optimal. In this regard, it is not surprising that learning outcomes to date are still far from what we expected. This is because children are still less active in receiving lessons, many are still hesitant in asking questions, are still shy when answering questions asked by the teacher, there are even some students who play around while the teacher is explaining. Student activity low levels also have an impact on learning outcomes, especially in the material of writing rhymes in Indonesian language subjects. This is because teachers have not found the right methods and approaches. Teachers more often use lecture methods and teacher-centered learning, so that students are less actively involved. As a result, students are passive in learning and the learning atmosphere becomes boring. One effort to solve the problem above is by applying popular song media. In this learning, students experience for themselves what they learn through discussion and group work so that it is hoped that their active role and student learning outcomes can improve. Therefore, this research focuses on improving students' learning process in rhyme writing material. This research is classroom action research carried out in class VII A of SMP Negeri 25 Semarang for the 2022/2023 academic year with a total of 32 students.
