Place and Time of the Study
the dependent variable is blog and writing skill is as an independent variable. The experiment procedure starts with a pre-test and ends with a post-test. Researcher
need to analyze the findings based primarily on differences in the post-test scores of the sample group.
Singh states, “The single individual or one-group experiment is the most elementary and least rigorous design.”

So, the researcher believed this design will meet to the objective of the research. In addition,
“It consist of comparing the growth of a single group under two different sets of condition-that
is, of subjecting of the group successively to an experimental and to a control factor for equivalent periods of time and comparing the outcomes”

In the first meeting, the researcher invited the participants to language laboratory and asked them to create an account in Blogger platform. The
researcher chose that blog provided because it is easy to be used and the features support for writing. The next meeting was pretest to see their current writing skill
level. The researcher asked students to write Narrative text including fable, legend, myth, fairy tales, folklore and many more. The students were asked to
write at least 3 paragraphs. They are divided into 10 groups to make easier in commenting others writing. The four students who have first registered number
commented to each other writing among the fourth and the following registered number will do the same. Based on the kinds of participant comment, the students
were divided into two groups in analyzing peer feedback which are the elaborated and basic feedback group. Elaborated feedback refers to useful feedback which
provides detail items from students and basic feedback is merely led to good or poor comments. The following weeks, the researcher started the treatment for
2x45 minutes. Then, they have been given treatment during that time. In the next week, the student did post-test using computer in the language library. The
researcher picked categorized participants based on their kinds of comment to be interviewed. Then the researcher correlated between the results of participants’
writing and interview.
