mapping at VIII of SMP PGRI 2 Ciputat academic year 20132014. Related to the discussion of the result, it is divided into three parts. Those are before

A. Data Description
1. The Result of Pre Observation
Pre observation was conducted to observe the process of teaching learning in reading activity before implementing the action. It was held on at VIII class
of SMP PGRI 2 Ciputat academic year 20132014. There consisted of 34 students in the class. The pre-observation was conducted on the 7
th
and 12
th
April 2014. It was started at 07.30 A.M and finished at 09.00 A.M. In general, during the teaching learning process in the classroom, the teacher liked to
dominate the class. Hence, there was less opportunity for students to be active in the class. Next, the teacher merely asked the students to read orally the text
then they had to translate it into Bahasa Indonesia. After that, the students performed their works in front of the class to read that translation had been
made. When the teacher asked students to perform in front of the class, they seemed not to have motivation moreover most of them were hardly to finish
the task. In other words, they could not finish the work on time and the teacher often ignored that behavior. Instead, he asked students to continue the task at
home. Furthermore, as the teacher was explaining the generic structure and language features of the narrative text most of students did not care of the
teacher. Consequently, the students could not analyze the schematic structure of the story because of their difficulties in comprehending the text.
