d. Reflecting Phase
The reflecting in cycle 1 is the writer still had difficulties in implementing the group work in the class. Based on the table above shows that the class was
noisy because some students did not do their task together, they just walked to cheat or to disturb the other groups and also chatted each other. Hence, the writer
should give more attention to all groups and warning in order the students did their task with their own group, did not walk around the class, did not cheat, did
not disturb, and did not chat each other about another topic. Third, students gave up if they found unfamiliar words. In this case, the writer should advice the

student to bring the dictionary. Next, the writer concluded about implementing the action. They tried to
modify the action in order students more comprehend in reading narrative text and in order 75 of students in the class could pass the KKM. Based on the result of
the cycle 1, the data showed that the mean score of posttest was 70,75. There were 19 students who passed the Minimum Mastery Criterion
– Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM 75 seventy five. Meanwhile the other 21 students did not pass
that criterion. In the result of cycle 1 showed only 19 of students who passes the KKM.
However, based on the result of the first cycle, the writer and the teacher felt satisfied enough because they were able to improve students‘ reading
comprehension of narrative text, although not 75 students passed the KKM. Beside, the students could understand the material easily by using group work.
That technique could help them to share the ideas in comprehending of narrative text and to teach each other in determining and analyzing schematic structures of
narrative text. In the cycle 1, there was an improvement done by students. However, the improvement had not passed the KKM yet.

technique. It was needed to improve again in the next cycle.

of narrative text and to emphasize students‘ work in their own group. Moreover,
the writer will give punishment to the student who is not contributing while doing the task. The punishment is the student should make a written story in Narrative
text style and heshe have to read the story in front of the class room. The writer also prepared the test for cycle 2 to collect the data.
