The end of the stages in this teaching reading was post-reading. In this stage, the teacher guided the students to draw conclusion which was done in written form
and was guided by the teacher. After that, the teacher asked the students about the problems they faced in learning narrative text by using pictures in series. In the
second meeting, some students told the teacher that they faced some problems. One of them was the difficulty in understanding the pictures in series given in meeting
two. The text entitled Honest Woodcutter had many details activities that actually needed more than 8 pictures to visualize. However, the researcher limited the pictures
in series in 8 pictures only. Therefore, it was not really clear to be understood by the students. It aroused the students to be confused in synchronizing what they read in the
text and what they watched in the pictures in series. After discussing the students’ problems, finally the teacher closed the teaching and learning process by saying good
bye to the students. Each meeting in cycle 1 was done in the same way.
4.1.2 The Results of Observation in Cycle 1
Classroom observation was conducted to get one of the primary data about the students’ active participation. In the first meeting, the observation was done by the
English teacher while in the second meeting it was done by the researcher. To observe the students’ active participation, the observer used observation guide in the
form of checklist. The indicators observed were 1 identifying the meanings of underlined words in the reading text accompanied by pictures in series, 2 reading
the narrative text accompanied by pictures in series, 3 making notes while the teacher reviewing the material accompanied by pictures in series, 4 doing the
reading exercises accompanied by pictures in series, 5 drawing conclusion about the reading text accompanied by pictures in series. The students were considered as
active students when they performed at least four indicators. The research was considered to be successful when 75 of the students actively participated in the
teaching learning process. Furthermore, the result of the classroom observation in cycle 1 was presented in the following table.
