The Subject and the Object of Study The Writer’s Role on the Study
story mapping. When observing, the teacher should notice all of activities in the classroom. It is done in order to get accurate result in the end of the
research. d.
Reflecting Phase
In this phase, the teacher reflects the whole action based on data that have been collected, and then it is necessary to hold evaluation before
starting the next cycle. This phase is the teacher discuss the problems occurred in the class with students. Thus, the reflection is able to be
determined after implementing the action and observation outcomes. If there are still some problems, so it needs to move to the next cycle. By
continuing to the next cycle, it is expected that the unfinished problems
yet can be solved and the goals can be reached. 2.
Cycle 2 a.
Planning Phase
Cycle 2 begins from making new lesson plan. It is aimed to change some parts that need to be revised during the implementation of cycle 1.
As the planning phase in Cycle 1, here the teacher also makes preparation of teaching aids. Evaluation and posttest 2 are prepared to
see students’ achievements in the end of this cycle. The teacher also re- selects the topics and teaching aids to motivate students, so that they
will get a better understanding of the texts. b.
Acting Phase
In this phase, the teacher implements the new lesson plan. As the teacher, the writer also emphasizes and reviews schematic structures to
the students in order to make the getting better understanding. c.
Observing Phase
The teacher observes students’ participation and achievement in
this phase. Here, the writer tries to see whether students improve their
understanding or not and differ their achievements between cycle 1 and
cycle 2. d.
Reflecting Phase
The teacher analyzes s tudents’ progress based on their test score.
The teacher also discusses the result of the implementation of the
modified action. G.
The Technique of Collecting Data
Technique of collecting data in this research is using qualitative data experience-based and quantitative data number-based. The qualitative data
consists of observation within the physical activity in the classroom and interview to be presented for the teacher. On the other side, the quantitative
data uses pre-test and post-test.

The completely explanation as follows: 1. Observation
In this case, the writer uses the unstructured or opened observation, to know the occurrences within learning process. It may be about the
teacher’s performance during Classroom Action Research CAR, class situation as reading activity, and students’ response concerning the use of
story mapping technique. In general, all of the need aspects that should be noticed are to make sure whether the teaching learning processes in line
with the lesson plan or not. 2. Interview
Before implementing Classroom Action Research, the writer asks the teacher to know students’ difficulties in reading narrative text
comprehension, and the method or kinds of strategies usually used by the teacher. The interview also will be carried out after accomplishing
Classroom Action Research CAR to know the teacher’s response toward the idea of Story Mapping technique.
