7. Revised plan
Based on the result of reflection, the researcher can determine whether he has to continue or to stop the research. It depends on main problem whether it has
been solved or not. If it is needed, the revised plan can be designed.
E. Data Collection Technique
There were two kinds of data collected in this research. They were quantitative and qualitative data. The detail techniques of data collection were on the
following explanation. The quantitative data were students writing scores. The quantitative data were
collected by using test. In this case, the researcher gave a test after each cycle. The students were asked to write a recount text based on a certain topic and certain
time given. Then, the students’ writing was scored by using analytic scoring rubric. The choice of scoring rubric was under consideration that in analytic
scoring, scores in five elements helped the teacher’s attention to areas of needed improvement. Therefore, it provides information about the difficulty that the
students find. The scoring covers each element of writing including content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanic.
Meanwhile, the qualitative data were any kinds of information related to the implementation of picture series in teaching writing, especially in recount text.
The qualitative data were collected by using some techniques as follows:

1. Observation
In this research, the observation was done to cover the process of implementation of picture series in teaching writing recount text. The observation
noticed classroom events, interaction in the classroom, and the students’ responses during the teaching learning process. In this research, the researcher was as a
teacher who taught writing recount text using picture series and also as a direct observer who observed the activities when the implementation of picture series
occurs. The researcher asked his collaborator to observe the teaching learning process. The function of collaborator was to observe, evaluate, and offer
suggestion about the implementation of picture series in writing recount text. The events happened in the classroom noticed by using field note.
2. Interview
The interview was done to get information from the students and the collaborator. The information covered their understanding of the picture series in
writing recount text, the implication to the students’ writing ability, and the strength and weaknesses of the implementation of picture series in writing recount
text. The interview was recorded by using audio recording and transcript into written form.
3. Document
The documents were in the form of students’ portfolios and students’ diary. By analyzing them, the researcher got information about the students’ progress in
writing and students’ responses toward the teaching learning process in the classroom. The researcher also collected the data from the result of students’ post-

test. The scores representing could become the information about the students’ writing achievement.
4. Questionnaire
The purpose of giving questionnaire was to find out the students personal opinion or self expression. In the preliminary observation, the researcher used
questionnaire to know students prior competence and their problems faced in writing. It was given at the pre-research observation and after conducting the
technique.
