paper to a picture taken from the Gingerbread Man illustration. Next, the Little Indian Boy puppet was revised from a big puppet to be smaller one.
Moreover, based on the questionnaires given to the students of SD IT Insan Cendekia after the product testing, the media got more than 87. It means the
media was acceptable, but it should be revised based on the students‟ suggestions so the final media could be produced. The background of and the font on the
exercise pages were changed. Then, the Velcro on the Little Indian Boy puppet was re-stuck using high quality glue.
2. The Materials
Based on the result of the questionnaires given to the English teachers, the materials got more than 82. It could be concluded that the material was very
good and feasible to apply. However, some aspects the materials, for example the tasks and instructions, should be revised. The suggestions given by the teachers
were the basis of the revision. Nonetheless, there was no evaluation about the aspects of the material given
by the students of SD IT Insan Cendekia. The students had neither comment nor suggestion about the materials.
3. The Teacher‟s Guide
The teacher‟s guide got high score which was more than 82. It was categorized as very good teacher‟s guide because its score was more than 60.
The teacher‟s guide was not revised or evaluated.

E. Limitation of the Product Development
The researcher had the limit in doing the research. Firstly, since the products were only prototypes, those only could be used to teach listening skills with two
different themes. The products did not cover the other skills. Besides, those were designed to teach the fifth grade students only. Other levels students needed
different activities. The last, the products only got the validations from 10 English teachers and
24 students without comparing to the other similar products in identifying the feasibility of the media.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions of the Product Development
This research aims at developing picture series as instructional media to teach English through storytelling for the fifth grade students of elementary
schools. In developing the product, several steps, based on RD theory as proposed by Borg and Gall 1983, were implemented by the researcher. Those
were conducting a needs analysis, constructing instructional design, designing the media, producing the media, assessing the media, revising the media, trying out
the media, evaluating the media, and producing the final media. Based on the needs analysis process, the researcher constructed the
instructional design and produced the media. In producing the media, there were three main steps. The first step was making the story illustrations. The software
program used by the researcher in making the illustrations is Corel Draw X5. Then, printing the illustrations on ivory papers was done. After that, the printed
illustrations were cut in its pattern. The last step was assembling the picture series. There are two types of product developed by the researcher. They are main
product which is the picture series, and the supporting products which are student‟s workbook and teacher‟s guide.
1. Picture Series
The picture series is a media used to teach English through storytelling. There are two picture series which are developed: The Gingerbread Man and The
