Based on the observation, the researcher got some fact dealing with the actions of the third cycle. Firstly, the researcher found that the students were very enthusiastic in learning writing using Guided Composition. Most of the students said that Guided Composition helped them in writing especially in generating ideas more freely. Through Guided Compositions, they could express not only what they had to follow the given clues, in form of the first and the last sentences, but also things which they could expand freely to give more detail information. With Guided Composition they could write story more systematically and more freely. Secondly, the researcher also found out that through Guided Composition, the students were actively asking and discussing to improvise their story and to enlarge their vocabulary that they found based on their own experience. Their participation in learning was increased a lot .This fact means that Guided Composition could effectively increase the students u iosit and creativity in expressing their ideas. Within cycle 3, the number of the students who wrote independently without depending too much on thei f ie ds helps i eased, too.

Grammatically most of the sentences they made were correct and better compared to those in cycle 1 and cycle 2, because they could trace the correct grammar through self correction which had been done since in the first cycle.. Even though there was improvement in content, organization of the ideas, and the grammar, there were, however, some points which needed further treatment in order to reach maximum result. a Some students still could not write the sentences effectively. There were some simple sentences which had similar ideas but they did not how to identify some simple sentences which had similar ideas and how to combine them into one effective sentence. b Some students made more mistakes on punctuation and capitalization. c The students had problem in using new vocabulary. Due to these findings, the result of the writing test given after cycle 3 was satisfying although there were some problems that had to be solved. The researcher decided to proceed this research to cycle 4 to give opportunity to the students to be able to overcome the problems in cycle three and to help them write more freely and effectively.
