c. Revised plan

Based on the result of the first cycle, the researcher realized that there were improvements of the students’ writing ability, but the researcher still found problems faced by the students. The students had difficulties in choosing appropriate vocabularies and sentence structure or grammar of using simple present tense. In doing writing collaboratively, they spent the long time in conducting the steps of collaborative writing. Besides, there were also some students who were busy with other activities during teaching and learning process. Dealing with those problems in the first cycle, the researcher revised his plans. The revised plan were: 1 the researcher needed to engage the students to find many vocabularies related to the descriptive texts and give the students understanding of the meaning of any difficult or new words; 2 the researcher gave more explanation about grammar of simple present tense; and 3 the researcher should give more time and attention much more for the students to do the tasks. To understand about collaborative writing technique easier, the teacher asked the students to play their role as a helper and a writer as well as possible in doing writing process. In this case, they should work together and need to jointly discuss a topic, plan an outline, gave suggestions, and contributed the success of the final product of writing in order to make a good composition. commit to user
