the Academic Year of 20092010. Both researches ware deal with writing recount texts using various media, the first was using diary and the last one was using
letter as th e medium to improve students‟ achievement in writing recount.
However, they tended to consider only the linguistic competence of the students and a little bit neglected the content of the students works, whether they reflected
some values mentioned in educational law number 202003 or not. Therefore, I strongly believed this research was feasible and brought a new idea of teaching
recount texts and of course, it deserved to be carried on.
1.2 Reasons of Choosing the Topic
There are several reasons that bring me to conduct this research. They are: 1
school Based Curriculum sees language learning focused in the realization of texts, not in a form of sentences like the previous did. Therefore, I
decided to conduct a research in the concern of recount as the model text; and the skill to be emphasized is writing.
2 model text should not be freely given regarding the content whether it is
appropriate to the students or not. Therefore, teacher should be careful to choose the content of the text through evaluating them referring to education
law number 202003.
3 students‟ achievements in writing recount texts were not satisfying enough.
It was according to some discussion with teachers and class observation in SMP 1 Semarang.
4 fieldtrip to Ronggowarsito Museum enables students to get closer to the
context in which their writing product will be about. Using fieldtrip to the museum can be as the stimulus to drag students to be aware of their culture
and nationalism, in addition, to respect the diversity of our nations.
1.3 Statement of the Problems
From the elaboration of the background of the study and the reasons of choosing the topic, I would like to define the problems as follow:
1 how does field trip to Ronggowarsito museum be conducted as the
integration of character building education? 2
how do the recount texts made by the students show improvement after doing fieldtrip in Ronggowarsito Museum?
3 how does the content of their recount texts reflect their cultural awareness?
1.4 The Objectives of the Study
The general objective of this research is to show how to integrate teaching writing recount text with character building education in English subject. The above
objective and then, be specified into the following: 1
