Pre-test Cycle I Cycle II

3.1.2.1 Pre-test

Pre-test is done to know the basic knowledge of the students that is the ability of the tents grade students of MA Al Asror in writing narrative text. In this activity, I asked the students to write the narrative text about the story I had prepared before.

3.1.2.2 Cycle I

The second activity is the first cycle that consists of four phases; planning, action, observation, and reflection. In this activity I gave a treatment to the students. The treatment given was a number of WH-question as guidelines for the students when they wrote their narrative text. First, I explained the materials about the narrative text. While explaining the narrative text, I gave the materials about Past Tense since the language feature of narrative text uses past tense. I emphasized the explanation on the generic structure of narrative text, and then made a number of sequential questions based on that structure. After the students understood about the materials, I gave the example of narrative text and explained the vocabulary of the text and the structure through sequential question. I continued the activity by giving practice to the students. In this activity, I guided the students by using the sequential question. At the end of this activity, I would give a test in order to know the significant differences of the students in writing narrative text before and after given a treatment by comparing the result of the pre test and the test given after treatment. By giving a treatment, I hope there is significant improvement of the students’ ability in writing narrative text before and after given a treatment.

3.1.2.3 Cycle II

The next activity is Cycle II. This activity is almost the same as the cycle I, which is done in the previous activity. It also consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The second cycle is done as the revision of the first cycle. I completed the materials given in the previous meeting and reviewed the materials, which had not been understood by the students. In this cycle, I also gave a writing test like in the previous meeting, which was done at the last activity. The test is done in order to know whether the treatment given to the students works or not. In this test, the students were asked to write the narrative text about the famous story they had heard as they done in the pre-test. If the result of pre-test and post-test have significant differences, it means that the treatment given to the students has an effect in the process of writing narrative by the students.
