some keywords and also the whole narrative text. There would be some boxes in the template which helped the students to separate the
orientation, the complication, the resolution and the coda. During cycle one, the students were expected to pay attention
to the teacher’s explanation, got interested and motivated by the learning process, to achieve some learning indicators and to be more
disciplined in their learning process. To support the meetings, the researcher also designed some questions for the English teacher,
collaborator and students. The question would deal with their comment on the teaching and learning process and also their
expectation on the next meetings. The researcher also prepared handout for the students to help them in learning the materials.
b. Actions and Observations
The actions were carried out in three meetings on October 20
th
, 21
st
and 27
th
2014. Each meeting consisted of two 40-minute sessions. The class ran from 07.40 a.m.
– 09.00 a.m. and 11.45 a.m. – 01.05 p.m.
The activities in these meetings were the implementation of the lesson plan. Every steps which were arranged in the planning
stage before would be implemented in this stage. The researcher worked collaboratively with the collaborator and the English teacher
to succeed the whole process. The researcher became the teacher while the English teacher became the observer. Because the English
teacher could not attend the class for full time, the researcher asked
his friend to be the collaborator. The collaborator sat at the back and observed the whole teaching and learning process. The collaborator
also took notes about everything that happened during the teaching and learning process and sometimes taking pictures of the class.
Each meeting in the first cycle is described below.
