Each unit in the designed materials was divided into five parts namely, Let’s Think First, It is Time to Read, How to Say it?, Grammar Focus
and Write Your Story.
Those activities were based on Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition CIRC theory. The details of each part are described as follows.
1. Let’s Think First
This was a pre-activity to activate students’ prior knowledge and to introduce the topic. The students mostly were to answer some questions related to the
reading text or to the topic being discussed.
2. It’s Time to Read
This part was the main activity where students did the reading activities such as answering the questions, finding the difficult words from the text, and
discussing the generic structure of the text. In this part, the writer also included Points to Remember
part to explain the things related to the narrative, for example the generic structure and the linguistic features. Moreover, the writer
also attached some information about the kinds of narrative in each unit; it was based on the topic e.g. fable, fairy tale, pourquoi tale, myth, etc.
3. How to Say it?
This was the part in which the students learned the suitable expressions in using language in discussion. The specific expressions or gambits given were
very useful for the students to discuss or work together in groups; for example Asking and Giving Opinions, Interrupting, Expressing Agreement, etc.
4. Grammar Focus
This was the activity to learn grammar found in the reading text. It was needed in order to comprehend the text as well as to produce a good composition.
5. Write Your Story
This part was the last activity in which the students wrote a composition after they got the model from the reading text. The activity was firstly done
individually then followed by group work activity. In this part, the writer also gave the writing activity as a home assignment.
