thought that the notification they received from email seems to be disturbing because they would be notified all
of the activities on Edmodo.
Having found some problem in this cycle, the writer discussed with the students in order to find the
solution. With regard to the problem in making a draft, he then tried to teach students on how to make a draft before
posting their recount on Edmodo. To overcome the problem, the writer asked students to make draft of
writing by using paper and asked them to post their writing after they had discussed their writing draft with
other groups and had been corrected by the teacher.
Regarding to the notification problem, the writer tried to discuss with the students and gave the explanation
that the notification problem could not be overcome since the notification was one of the features on Edmodo in
which the entire group members were notified about the activity conducted on Edmdo. To sum up, the writer did
not take any action regarding to the notification issue since it dealt with Edmodo policy.
In this phase, the writer discussed with the students about the new activity and from the discussion it
was resulted that most of the students asked the activity which is more fun and challenging. From the discussion,
it is found that most of the students are familiar with such activity called role playing. It is the activity in which
students could behave as a figure or character they wish to play in the group. It is therefore, the next activity will be
role playing activity using Edmodo. And the theory supporting was free-
writing in which “students are encouraged to behave like writers in real life and to ask
themselves the crucial questions about purpose and audience.

their feeling. And the most important thing was that Edmodo could help them to get to know each
other.
