| 617 analyzed the result of observation in the
observing step. The researcher analyzed whether the teacher‟ activities and students‟
activities and the result of students‟ achievement in implementing comic strips in
teaching writing narrative text. The reflection step is evaluation of the result of
the acting that obtained from observation. The result of this analysis, the researcher and
collaborator decided which activities have be done for the further cycle in this research.
To collect the data, the researcher used observation and test. The observation
consists of the teacher and students‟ activities. Sugiyono 2013 stated that there
are two aspects of observing, such as process and instruments. Process of observing
consists of participant and non-participant observation. On the other hand, instrument
of observing consists of structured and non- structures observation. In this research, the
writer uses participant observation and structured
observation. Participant
observation means that the researcher observes the students‟ activities in the
process of teaching learning. The structured observation means that the instrument of
observation
has been
designed systematically.
Meanwhile, the test was used to get the students‟ skill in writing narrative text by
using comic strips. In this research, the researcher used the students‟ writing task on
every cycle as the data collected and analyzed. The students‟ writing was
analyzed by using analytic scoring adapted from Heaton 1988 p. 146.
After analyzing the data, the students‟ skills are classified into four classifications. These
classifications based on Heaton‟s opinion in scoring the writing task. The classifications can
be seen in the following table.

The Indicators of Success
The writer decides the success of implementing this action based on the criteria of
success. The criteria consists of two aspects, namely; first, the data obtained from the
students‟ writing narrative include content, organization, vocabulary, language use and
mechanics can reach the value 80 by using comic strips as a media in teaching writing.
Second, 85 students got value 80 or more in their achievement classically. It indicates that
the students can be stated success if they get value 80 or more. This score is based on KKM
of SMA Negeri I Tapa is 80.
3. Findings and Discussion
3.1 Findings of Cycle 1
The findings of cycle 1 include the result of observation on teacher‟ s activities, the result of
observation on students‟ activities in teaching learning p
rocess and the result of students‟ writing skill.
Based on the teacher‟s activities as shown in table 3 below, 42,11 of the indicators has
been done in classification „good‟, while 52,63 of the indicators has been implemented in
„enough‟ classification. 5,26 of the indicators has been done in „lack‟ classification. Therefore,
referring the data from the observation of teacher‟s activities, it could be stated there were
some indicators did not do maximal. This condition should be advanced in the next cycle
because it influenced the students‟ result in writing.
Meanwhile the students‟ instruments of observation focused on their activities during the
writing process, namely students‟ cooperation in group, individual commitment, and use comic
strips. This instrument of observation is used to monitor the students‟ performance and
participation during the writing process using comic strips. The result of observation of

The data of observation students‟ activities showed that the percentage for indicator
students‟ cooperation in group is 20 in „good‟ classification, 12 „enough‟ classification and
68 „lack‟ classification. The students‟ activities showed that they were lack in cooperation with
their group and their individual commitment. Therefore, the indicators must be built up in the
next cycle.
The last point discussed the result of students‟ writing skill in the first cycle. The
students‟ writing skill was viewed from the aspects of writing, namely organization, content,
language use, vocabulary, and mechanics. The result of data analyzing on the writing aspects of
students‟ skill in writing narrative text using comic strips could be seen in table 3.

Data which are presented in table 5 are as follows. In the content aspect of the students‟
narrative writing, the students‟ score is 544 72,53 with the average is 21,76. The
organization, the total of the students‟ score in this aspect of writing is 218 43,6 with its
average is 8,72. In vocabulary aspect, the students‟ score is 291 58,2 and its average is
11,64. Next, the students‟ score in the language aspect is 314 50,24 or its average is 12,56.
Finally, mechanics aspect is scored 71 56,80 with its average is 2,84. Based on the students‟
result of writing narrative text, the researcher found that the students‟ skill in writing narrative
text is not best possible yet, because there are four aspects of writing got less than 60 namely
organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. While the content aspect has score
more than 60 , that is 72,53.
The findings indicated that the action research should be gone on the next cycle
because from twenty five students, only four students or 16 were successful in learning or
have „good‟ classification. While twenty one students or 84 were unsuccessful in learning.
In the other words, many students have not skill yet in writing narrative text using comic strips.
So that, the researcher concluded that the action research should be to continue to further cycle.
Revision of the Implementation in Cycle 1
There are some problems must be solved in the next cycle. Firstly, the students do not pay
attention to the use of punctuation, so that the researcher must explain about the punctuation
before they are asked to write narrative text using the other comic strips. Secondly, to
overcome the students‟ problem in using 2
nd
verb form must be developed by giving them exercise
such as grammar task especially simple past. Thirdly, to discuss with the students the glossary
under the comic strips that will be written into narrative text. Fourthly, by understanding how to
use punctuation and appropriate words in their sentences, that is expected to understand main
and supporting sentences. Fifthly, to make the students could identify the generic structure of
narrative text by understanding the plot of the story which was shown in the comic strips.
These problems must be included in lesson plans and implemented in the further action.
