5.2.2.1 The Implementation of The Da Vinci Code in Teaching Writing
In this study I will focus on writing composition. This teaching learning activities is dedicated for the students at advanced level. We can use The Da Vinci
Code in teaching writing based on four kinds of composition. There are:
explanation and analysis, argument, description and summary, and narrative. The teacher can pick one model of The Da Vinci Code. Then, the teacher distributes
the model to the students and asks them to read. After that, the teacher can ask the students to write a narrative composition similar to the example given base on the
teacher’s instruction. Here is the procedure of how to conduct it in teaching writing:
1. The teacher selects a passage from The Da Vinci Code according to a
certain type of composition. The selection of the passage must consider with the vocabularies, sentence structure, punctuation, content
organization, development of ideas and type of composition. 2.
The teacher distributes the passage to the students. 3.
The teacher asks the students to read the passage. 4.
The teacher and the students discuss the difficult words. 5.
