Because of the limitation of the time, I closed the teaching and learning process before they finished writing their text. Before I closed the lesson, I asked
the students whether they understood the materials or not and asked them to continue the narrative text and learn the materials had given to them at home. I
reminded them that we still had one meeting left and explained the activity for the last meeting. I told the students that for the last activity they would have a posttest
and questionnaire. I also told them that the topic of posttest would be the story entitled “The Legend of Tangkuban Perahu”, and I asked them to prepare well for
the posttest.
4.3.2. Second Meeting
The second meeting was conducted on May, 1
st
2010. In this meeting, I did not give practice to the students; I just reviewed the whole materials about the Past
Tense and narrative text briefly because I would give posttest and questionnaire to the students.
4.3.2.1. Building Knowledge of Field
I began the activity by greeting the students and asked them to pray together. After that, I checked their attendance list, there were 35 students joined in this
activity. Then, I explained the tenses briefly to the students, I wrote the patterns on the blackboard and wrote the mistakes the students did in the pretest and
formative test like the use of adjective after noun to modify the noun, misused of possessive pronoun, the use of present verb in past tense etc. I hoped they did not
make the same mistakes for the posttest. Furthermore, I reviewed narrative text by segmenting the text into its structure and probed it by using questions.
Finally, I asked the students’ comprehension about the materials by inviting them to ask some questions related to the materials given. Most of
students asked about how to use adjective in sentence, the difference between Simple Past and Past Continuous Tense, and about structure of narrative text.
4.3.2.2. Independent Construction of the Text
After reviewing the whole materials, I gave the students posttest. For this test, I asked the students to write a narrative text. The topic of the text was “The Legend
of Tangkuban Perahu”. For this test, I provided a number of questions as guidance. The text consisted of 15-20 sentences and had to be done in 45 minutes.
As I did in the previous meeting, I distributed the answer sheet and did not allow the students to write anything without my instruction. After all of students
got the answer sheet, I asked them to write down their name, student’s number, and class. Then, I told them that there were some questions on the answer sheet as
guidance for them when they were writing their text. I asked them to answer those questions first and then they had to develop the answers and arrange them into a
narrative text. Finally, I asked them to do the test in 45 minutes. After the students finished doing the test, I asked them to answer the
questionnaire. I told them that they had to answer the questions by giving a mark on the column they chose. I also told them that the questionnaire was used to
analyze the students’ interest toward English lesson, which was used to support the data of my research. Before they answered the questionnaire, I explained the
items of the questionnaire to make them understand and did not make mistakes. Finally, I asked them to answer the questions honestly based on their thought.
