3.3 Data Collection
This action research needs the data to support the investigation, so collecting data was one of the most important steps when doing a research. Data collection
has four kinds, depending on the necessity and kind of information needed. The techniques of data collecting used were:
3.3.1 Observation
Observation was used to know the difficulties of the students in understanding narrative. Observation was needed for monitoring the on-going learning process in
class. During the teaching learning process in class, I observed the class activities,
teacher behavior, students perception towards teacher, the interaction between teacher and students, and also the interaction among the students.
3.3.2 Tests
In this step, I asked the students to write a narrative text and then assessed the work. I conducted an achievement test because it will measure the extent of
student achievement of the instructional goals. These tests were based on what the student was presumed to have learnt.
The tests in this research were divided into three sections. They were pre-test, test, and post-test.
1 Pre-test.
I gave the pre-test to the students as the first step in collecting data. It was used to identify the achievement of writing a narrative text. I conducted the
pre-test before all treatment would be given.

2 Test
The test was given during treatments. It was conducted before showing the film Kungfu Panda. It was used to measure the improvement of the students
during treatment. 3
Post-test The post-test was conducted to measure the students abilities after the
treatments. It was held when all treatment I had given to the students. The test was just like as the pre-test and the result will be analyzed to see how
effective the animated film as media in motivating students to write a narrative text.
3.3.3 Field Notes
I did the field notes to note as many as information during the treatment. The note was about the specific students behavior, which showed the problem faced
by the students or the directions that can be applied in doing the next cycle.
3.3.4 Questionnaire
In this study the questionnaire was intended to find out some additional information from the students after watching the animated film. Questionnaire
was used to support the primary data obtained from the teaching learning activity and test. The questionnaire was used to evaluate students motivation after
watching the animated film.
