All Indonesian language learning texts in classes VII and VIII include head, hands, and heart aspects. The head aspect is related to learning objectives in the cognitive domain, which requires students to master the ability to identify, interpret, compare, and analyze environmentally friendly texts. The hand aspect is related to learning objectives in the psychomotor domain which requires students to be able to practice, write, and speak in accordance with environmentally friendly texts. The heart aspect is related to learning objectives in the affective domain, namely, requiring students to empathize with environmental issues.
