can warm up to write with your own set of prewriting strategies and techniques.
d) Gathering Details

However, many writers also find it to be the most difficult but when you know the
key, it is easy. In writing, it refers to the use of a logical step-by-step process to color
code, analyze, evaluate, and rework your writing. There are a variety of things to look
for when revising the overall structure of your work, including the following:
1) Check to see that your organization makes sense and that it is consistent.
2) Make sure that your introduction will grab your readers’ interest and that

Once students have finished revising for content, proofreading their work

the habit of reviewing their draft several times. Each time, focus on a specific
proofreading topic.

techniques students can employ in their writing process. This is the last process in

and as an aid to committing the new language to memory. Students often find the

The actual process of writing help people to learn along rather like the process
of speaking. The mental activity constructs proper written texts is all part of the
3. Learning as a style
Some students are fantastically quick at picking up language just by looking and
listening. For many learners, the time to think things through, to produce language in
a slower way, is invaluable. Writing can also be aquite reflective activity instead of
4. Writing as a skill
The most important reason for teaching writing is, it is a basic language skill,
just as important as speaking, listening and reading. Students need to know how to
write letters, how to put written report together, how to reply to advertisements and
increasingly, how to write using electronic media. The students need to know some of

The other purpose of written language are:
1) For action (for example public sign, TV and radio guides, bills, menus, telephone

2.6.3 Example of Narrative Text
Cinderella Story
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with
her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella
very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such
as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family.
The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother
gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s
son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much
time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and
away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left. “Why
are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother
standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella.
“Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking,
uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”. Magically, the
fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and
two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it
became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now,
Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her
beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again
with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the
door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind. A
few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted
the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no
matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let
Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper
on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again.
They were married and live happily ever after.

This chapter describes the design in this study, participant and place, the data
collection, the setting of the study, data collection technique, data collection
instrument, and the analysis data. To get the clearer view of the above matters each of
There are two types of research namely qualitative research and quantitative
