3.6 Administration of the Experiment
The administration of experiment includes two classes. They are experimental class and control class.
3.6.1 Experimental Class
The experimental class used video clips containing music, song and story as media in teaching writing narrative texts. Before I gave the treatment to the
students, I asked them to do story writing composition pretest. There were 37 students joining the pretest. They were asked to write a narrative text in 45
minutes about Cinderella. They should write a narrative text about Cinderella story with minimum word length of the story is 250 words. Some keywords were
provided to help them writing narrative text, such as a fairy good mother, dancing party, glass shoes, etc.
After conducting the pretest, I scored the pretest using the Boardman and Frydenberg’s Essay Evaluation. There were five elements of good writing which
were scored. They were content or ideas, organization, grammar or structure, word choice, and mechanics.
Next, I gave the first treatment to the students of the experimental group. I showed the first video clip coming from Avril Lavigne entitled Alice
Underground for the first time to introduce the video clip to the students. They watched and enjoyed it. After finishing watching the video clip, the students
shared their opinion about the video clip they had watched, such as who the characters were, what the characters did, how the story was, and other details they
could get from the video clips. The lyrics of the song helped them to write the
42
details because it provided some vocabularies which were used in the video clip. In addition, they were also introduced to the grammar rule past tense from the
lyrics. The next activity was showing the students the first video clip for the second
time. I showed the video clip by cutting it into three parts according to the generic structure of the narrative texts. It was done to make the students be able to
differentiate when it was orientation, complication and resolution. Using the vocabularies they had shared before and the slices of video clip, they learned to
write sentences and then composed the sentences into paragraphs. Here, I also taught the writing mechanics to the students. The students actively learned and
tried to compose the sentences and the paragraphs in groups and individually. They shared their results with others. After they finished writing the text, they
gave it to me to check it. I, then, gave their writing back after she gave correction or feedback. They did some revisions to get their best text.
At the next meeting, I showed the second video clip to the students which was coming from Emily Osment entitled Once Upon a Dream. I did the same teaching
learning steps to teach writing narrative texts like in the first video clip. I gave more chances to the students to express their ideas based on the second video
clips. As a result, after watching the video clips, listening to the song and reading the lyrics, they were able to write narrative text easily with good content,
organization, diction, and mechanics and also correct grammar rule. The last step of the experiment was after giving the treatments to the students
of the experimental group, I administered the story writing composition posttest.

There were 37 students joining the posttest. They were asked to write a narrative text in 45 minutes about Cinderella. They should write a narrative text about
Cinderella story with minimum word length of the story is 250 words. Some keywords were also provided to help them writing narrative texts. Then, I scored
the posttest using the the Boardman and Frydenberg’s Essay Evaluation. Like in the pretests, there were five elements of good writing which were scored. They
were content or ideas, organization, grammar or structure, word choice, and mechanics. The score of the posttest was compared with the score of the pretest.
