Abstract

The title of this final project is improving students’ skill in writing report text with All About Animals VCD (An Action Research at the Ninth Year Students of SMP 2 Kudus in the Academic Year 2009/2010). This final project is an action research. The objective of the study was to find whether teaching writing report with All About Animals VCD is effective to improve the students’ achievement. The population of this study was the ninth grade of SMP 2 Kudus. The subject of the study was 40 students. In collecting the data, I carried out three activities. In the first activity, I gave a pre-test to know the students’ prior knowledge about report text. In the second activity, I asked the students to watch All About Animals VCD. By watching the video, it let the students get information and knowledge about animal. So, it can help them in writing a report text about animal. In the last activity, I gave a post-test to measure the students’ improvement. The average of the students’ result in pre-test was 58.775%, in the cycle 1 test was 69.475%, and in the post-test was 79.55%. It means that the students’ achievement in writing report text was improved because the post-test result was better than the pre-test result. Based on the study, it is found that All About Animals VCD seems to be effective for improving the students’ ability in writing report. I hope this technique can be used by other teacher to enable the students to write report text.
