Besides, the researcher prepared the instruments for the research such as: posttest 1, observation checklist, and camera to take a picture of the action.
b. Acting
The action of the first cycle was done on January 26
th
, 28
th
and 31
st
2011. The writer implemented the teaching learning process based on the lesson plan had been made. In the first meeting, before involving students in
Jigsaw technique, the researcher asked students to read the story given to build the students’ knowledge about narrative texts. Having known about
the characteristic of narrative texts the students were involved in Jigsaw technique. They discussed, described the events, and shared the ideas based
on the picture given. In the second meeting, the students were asked to make their first draft of narrative text and asked them to revise their first draft by
peer correction. In the third meeting, the students were asked to edit their draft, read their final draft, and collect the final draft. The final draft was the
data for the posttest 1.
c. Observing
In this phase, the observer observed the students’ participation in the
process of writing in pre, whilst and post writing activities through observation checklist see Table 4.2.
In the first meeting, there were 75.3 students who participated actively in discussing the events in the picture sequence. There were 80.0
students involved enthusiastically in writing and revising their first draft, while in the third meeting, there were 82.5 students who participated
actively in editing and completing their final draft. So, the result of observation checklist in the first cycle was 79.3 of the students were
involved in writing class activity. This was assessed by adding the percentage
of the students’ participation in the three meetings divided by 3 See Appendix 9a.
From the students’ participation, it showed that the
45
students were motivated in the teaching and learning of writing. It indicated that the first criteria of success had been achieved.

Also, after accomplished the first cycle, the writer collected the data for posttest 1.
To know the result of students’ writing, the writer needs to calculate the mean score firstly. The mean score derived from the following formula:

Then, the writer calculated the class percentage that’s passed the Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM using the
following formula:

The data showed that the mean score of posttest 1 was 65.2. There were only 10 students or 28.6 of the students who got the score above the
Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM meanwhile the other 25 students were below that criterion. It implied that
the first criterion has not fulfilled.
