Each classroom is completed with some facilities which are set to support teaching learning process, such as whiteboard, blackboard, tables and chairs which are fit with the number of the students, a teacher‟s desk and chair, a clock, and good air circulation and lighting. The students in SMA Negeri 1 Teras, Boyolali are not accustomed to practice their English. They are not too active during the teaching and learning process in writing subject. Moreover the teacher tends to use the monotonous technique to teach the students. That is why the researcher uses animation movie to improve their writing skill. The research was conducted from March to April 2011 at the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Teras, Boyolali in 2010-2011. The research consists of two cycles. The first cycle consists of four meetings and the second cycle consists of three meetings. commit to user 41
