INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
English as an international language has been used by most of people
in the world. English has become one of important subjects in Indonesian
schools.English is taught in Junior High School and Senior High School, even
in elementry school. Studying English is not a new thing for the students of
Senior High School before.By mastering English we can comunicate with other
people who speak English.
As we know that English is not the Indonesian native language. It is
difficult for the students to remember all the words in English and to
understand when someone speaking English. According to Oshima and Hogue
(1999: 3), writing is particularly academic writing is not easy. So the teacher
must create the subject so that the student can stdudy the subject easily.
Besides, the kinds of the textcan also be important in teaching English in order
to make the writing teaching succesful.In the process of writing, a writer
should explore her mind to find new ideas that make her writing meaningful
and express her thoughts and feeling to the readers. Writing is also a process of
communicating the writer’s idea to the reader in a written form.In the teaching
and learning process of writing, the teacher has an important role.
John (1997: 12) states that
“teacher’s role is to help students develop viable strategies for getting
started (finding topics, generating ideas and information, focusing and
planning, structure and procedure), for drafting, (encouraging multiple
drafts of redaing), for revising (adding, deleting, modifying and
rearranging ideas), and for editing (attending to vocabulary, sentence,
structure, grammar, and mechanics)”.
Thus, teaching writing should be priority for students at Senior High
School. By using procedure text as a genre for teaching writing, the students
will be more interest in and easy to study. According to Bima (2005:73)

procedure text is to inform and to direct someone and how to do something.
The purpose of procedure texts type is to explain how something can be done.
Siswanto (2005: 98) states that procedure text is a text thet is design to describe
how something is achived through a squance of action or steps. Its explain how
people perform diferent processes in a squence of steps. This text uses simple
present tense, often imperative sentences. It also uses the temporal conjunction
such as first, second, then, next, finally, etc. Therefore, Guided writing
technique focused at whole text level, sentence level or word level. Through
guided writing, children are supported during the different stages of the writing
process. As an activity, it should be carefully targeted towards groups of
children according to their current targets or specific needs. The aim is to
provide support that is going to help children to improve their writing and to
work with increasing independent.
This problem happens to the students of the tenth grade of SMK
Kosgoro 1 Sragen especially in class of XI TKR 1. Learners need explicit
scaffolding, constructed, within expertly delivered instructional conversations
that address the language, knowledge, and strategies required for problem
solving in writing. Therefore, the teacher builds confidence and encourages
children to be active participants in writing conferences. The way to do that is
by applying an interesting technique of teaching and learning because it is
necessary to enhance their writing skills and finally they want to write more
and more perfectly. The interesting technique of teaching writing is application
of guided writing which giving instruction in teaching the students. The
researcher believes that using guided writing can give the students opportunity
in learning with enjoyable activity so that it can remove their anxiety and there
will be self-confidence and motivation to develop their writing skill. It
