89 in Task 3 is not as high as others, but it is understandable since Task 3 is the last
task in the test.
e. Score Improvement
To make the improvement clearer, a chart about the students’
improvement in each cycle is provided in Appendix I , Students’ Score Chart 1.
The aim of this chart i s to show the students’ score in the pre-test, progress test,
and post-test. As shown in the enclosured charts, two students have made the biggest
improvement, and their scores are also higher than the others. The other students are still in the average level. Moreover, it is also found that in progress test, there
are three students whose scores are fallen, S1, S9, and S23. Especially for S23, she did not take the progress test because she was sick. For the other S1, he did
plagiarism in task 2, and S9 did plagiarism in all tasks. So that, the got a low score. Furthermore, there are also three students whose scores are falling in the
post-test. They are S2, S19 and S22. S2 did plagiarism in task 3, S19 did plagiarism in all tasks, and S22 did plagiarism in task 3. So that, the three students
got a low score in each component in the tasks they cheat. Moreover, to make the improvement of every student clearer, a line chart
is also used as enclosured in Appendix I , Students’ Score Chart 2. The line chart
shows that most of the students make an improvement in their writing skills. Three students had a steady improvement, and two of them get the highest score
among the other members of the class.

E. Result of the Research
From the overall actions done in two cycles, there were some results obtained. They are explained below.
1. Cycle I
a. The students developed their organisation in writing a recount well.
b. In related with the content, the students had an improvement although most of
them liked having a similar pattern with the example given. c.
The students’ ideas were more varied. d.
The students had a little improvement in grammar. They knew that in writing a past event text, they had to use past tense, but most of them had not fully
understand about how to form a past verb. e.
Misspelling was the most common mistakes found. f.
Punctuation was also the most common mistake. Sometimes, the students miss a comma, or a fullstop.
g. Their development in capitalisation was good since there were just some
students who still made mistakes on capitalisation compared with the pre-test. h.
Their vocabulary improved well proved by the use of vocabulary which was more complex than in the pre-test.
i. Some of the students did plagiarism.
