narrative text form and will be treated by the stage of reading session so the role of Semantic Mapping Strategy can be seen from the result of students’ answer.
According to Wallace 2004 there are two methods of reading. These are careful reading and quick reading. Careful reading refers to the process of
critically reading the text while taking note of all details in order to enhance understanding of the text. Quick reading on the other hand can be done using two
techniques: Skimming and scanning. Maxwell 1975 defines skimming as the rapid processing of materials to
obtain the key ideas, and scanning as the ability to locate specific facts and information quickly. Skimming demands fast moving of eyes down a page in a
zigzag manner, looking for some words or phrases or sentences here and there to get the kernel of the material. Scanning demands a quick answer to a specific
question from the passages or chapters or even from a complete book and does not require reading of each and every word. They’re alike in that you don’t read all of
the material. They’re different in the way you go about each. In skimming, your purpose is quite different. You may be interested in the “gist” of an article, or you
may want to sample a book in the library before deciding to take it out. When you skim, you alternate read and glance, and your goal is to obtain an impression of
the whole. In scanning, you usually have a question to, or something specific to look for. It might be a telephone number, a particular quotation in a book, or
supporting facts to use in a discussion you’re having. When you scan, your goal is to find just the information you want. When you’ve found it, you’re finished
reading.
According to Chatman 1995 main contribution to the theory of narrative is Story and Discourse. He explains that story is the content of narrative
the what of the narrative and the discourse is form of narrative the how. According to the author, the structural theory of narrative states that narrative a
narrative text, a narrative structure has two parts. The first part, the story, consists of the content the chain of events and the existents the characters and the items
of setting. The second part, the discourse, is the means by which the content is expressed.
The following definitions of terms above are to represent the general concept of terms that is used in this study according to the chosen topic. The terms
which consist of reading, quick reading strategy, semantic mapping strategy and narrative text are supported terms to build this project study become more
accurate as substratum of the research which conducted by the writer. Those terms above will developed in second chapter.
