The cycles of action research can be drawn like figure proposed by Kemmis and McTaggart 1998 as figure 2.3:

2.3 Theoretical Framework
Writing is one of skills to transfer information or ideas to a written text. Learning writing can be applied in the classroom using many teaching strategies. One of the
teaching strategies is by using cooperative learning in teaching process. The previous studies above also show that by applying the cooperative learning can
make the students and the teacher work cooperatively. In this study, it is expected that the students can solve their problems of writing of narrative text. There are
many kinds of cooperative learning for the teacher, but the researcher uses Think- Talk-Write as the strategy in teaching writing in the classroom. This technique can
be used to improve students‟ motivation of writing narrative texts. There are three steps that should be done in this technique.
The purpose of choosing narrative text is to develop students‟ motivation in writing a text. The students are expected to have learning motivation significantly.
In this study, they write a text with full of attention to the organization, content, grammar, punctuation, and style. They hopefully can compare the verb in the past
and in the present because the meaning of words will change if they are in the different tenses.
Considering variables related to the theories above, this research can be illustrated in Figure 2.4. The researcher will apply this cycle research for the tenth
grade of senior high school.

CHAPTER III METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter discusses the methods of investigation. It is divided into eight subsections. They are research design, the subject of the study, the role of the
researcher, the types of data, methods for collecting data, methods for analysing data, instruments for collecting data, and the procedures of collecting data.
3.1 Research Design
The purpose of this research is to measure the improveme nt of students‟
motivation in writing narrative text. Then, the researcher chooses action research as a research design.
Based on Wallace 1998: 4 action research is the strategy to accelerate to enhance a kind of development, with special reference to language teaching. This
is the way for the teacher to reflect and manage a classroom systematically to collect data on everyday practice to analyze it in order to come some decisions.
Furthermore, teachers practice teaching methods to teach their students. They develop the collaboration of teacher and students to solve problem. This action
helps continuing for the practicing teacher‟s in a process.
