One day he visited his uncle that was sick. On the way he met Gonga, a goat. Gonga admired his horns. He looked at Chike’s horns continuously. Then he
thought of clear plan to have the horns. “Chike, I want to go to the party. Can you borrow me your horns?” Gonga pleaded. “Please Chike, just one ready” ”All
right But just one day” Chike answered. How poor Chike was, because the goat never returned the horns back.
Although Chike looked for him everywhere he could not find Gonga. Since then a goat has horns and rooster has so.
The example of recount text: Riding a New Bicycle
Three years ago I got a new bike from my grand parents. It was the best gift for my tenth birthday. Unfortunately I could not ride on it yet. Then I tried to
learn riding it. On Sunday morning I pulled the bike by my hands to the football field
near my house. Then I held the rudder tightly, sat on the bike seat an pedaled slowly. Next I added the speed, the bike ran faster and faster. Suddenly the bike
was shaking and the movement was uncontrolled. Finally it hit a plant tree on the side of the field. I fell and when I felt my knee, it was bleeding.
Although all my body was in pain, I was satisfied.
B. School Based Curriculum
The curriculum is very vital to lead teaching-learning process and to organize all components involved in educational program systematically.
Following the curriculum in important in order to gain the instructional objectives in the teaching-learning activities.
In line with the change of time, the progress of science and technology also increases. Consequently, the society’s needs toward the progress of science
and technology increase so that the student’s need also change. To meet such a change, the curriculum must also be changed because curriculum is reflection of
situation in a certain period of time. Therefore, a perfect is a reflection of situation in certain period of time. Therefore, a perfect curriculum has never been found.
Realizing the need for such a change, the government always tries to improve the curriculum. The latest version of curriculum is well-known as School
Based Curriculum. School Based Curriculum is also called “Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan
Pendidikan KTSP”. It is developed based on unit education, potencies, and characteristics of school and region, social and culture of community and
characteristic of student.

“KTSP” is an effort for the better curriculum in order to be more familiar for the teachers. The involvement of them is as a mean to
emerge responsibility. It is an idea about the development of curriculum that is given to the close
position of learning process that is a school and education unit. Some reason for the implementation of “KTSP”, those are:
1. School knows better in strange, weakness and opportunity and threat for itself so it can optimize the benefit of available source in order to
upgrade its quality. 2. School knows better the need of itself, especially education input that
will be developed and used in educational process based on the development level and need of students.
3. The decision making by the school is suitable to fulfill the school need because school knows better the best for itself.
4. The involvement of each school and its community in curriculum development create democracy and transparency. It is also more
efficient and effective to be controlled by the community. 5. School is responsible for its own quality to the government, students’
parents and community, so it works as maximal as possible to attain the goal of “KTSP”.
