Abstract

The final project is about teaching narrative texts to improve the writing skill of eight grade students of SMP N 37 Semarang. Teaching writing to Junior High School students is a challenging task. It requires a lot of creativity from the teacher. The objectives of the study were to describe how the Pinocchio cartoon can be used as a teaching medium in teaching narrative text, and to find out the extent to which Pinocchio improves the ability of students in writing a narrative text. The subject of the study is the eight grade students of SMP N 37 Semarang in the academic year 2008/2009. There were 32 students. The writer took all of them as the subject of the study. The technique used for collecting data is pre- test, post- test and interview. An interview was conducted to understand the students’ difficulties in writing a narrative text. The result of the study was that the students’ progress during teaching and learning activities by using narrative film to improve writing was good. The students’ achievement in writing improved. It was supported by the improvement of the result from the pre-test to the post-test. The average scores of the pre-test, first cycle, second cycle and post-test were subsequently 62.875, 72.125, 74.75 and 79.35. It is suggested that teachers use cartoon film as an alternative media for teaching narratives.
