4.3 Analysis of the Second Cycle
The second cycle consisted of two meetings; they were on Monday, 1 June 2009 and Wednesday, 3 June 2009. In general, the procedure of teaching and
learning in this cycle was the same as the previous cycle. It was done through stages. The main focus of the treatment was to eliminate students’ difficulties in
constructing sentences and grammar Simple Past Tense. In this activity the writer conveyed teaching and learning process to discuss simple past tense and
how to make effective and good sentences. In this cycle, the students also performed peer editing. The students
corrected and commented the other students’ work. They correct whether there were many mistakes or not, such as in spelling, word order, punctuation, etc. The
students practiced peer-editing many times. The students really enjoyed acting out this activity because they thought through peer editing they could work together
with their friends, added their knowledge, and shared with their friends. Finally, the writer asked the students to write a recount text by retelling
their own experience. Table 4.3. The result of the students’ achievement in the second cycle
