CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
This chapter presents the data description which consists of the score of pre- test and post-test from the experimental class and the control class. Moreover, the
discussion of the research finding is also explained here.
A. Data Description
The research was conducted in SMA Al-Hasra Depok on August 2015. The researcher took two classes that consist of experimental and controlled class.
Those classes were from the first grade and each class consisted of 20 students, so there were 40 students. The material that was taught is recount text. The
researcher gave pre-test in the first meeting and post-test in the last meeting to both classes experimental and controlled classes

students. In pre-test score, the highest score was 65 obtained by two students and the lowest score was 38 obtained by three students. The mean score of pre-test
was 49.95. From that data, it could be seen that most of the controlled students’
writing ability in writing recount text was also still very low. In post-test, the mean score of post-test was improved and it was 58.35 and the
mean of gained score was 8.4. The highest score of post-test was 79 obtained only by one student and the lowest score in post-test was 38 obtained by three students.
