Based on the result of the students’ writing product in pretest was 56.3. There were only five students or 14.3 of the students who got the
score above the Minimum Mastery Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM meanwhile the other 30 students were below that criterion. From that

mistakes in 1 content, the story has unclear information, 2 organization, the ideas were unevenly organized and weakly connected, 3 verb
agreement linguistics structure, the subject or verb in the sentence used incorrectly, and 4 verb forms, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. It
