Abstract

Writing skill is an important part in communication. Good writing allows us to communicate or deliver our messages to audiences clearly. But, most people think that writing is difficult. They don’t understand how to compile ideas and elaborate them. It also happened among junior high school students. They said writing, particularly in English, was difficult. They didn’t have self confidence in writing. They were afraid if their writing results were not good enough because of the lack of vocabularies and grammatical errors. Based on the statement above, the researcher did a research. The aim of the research was to enhance students’ writing skill in narrative texts. It was held in SMPN 6 Satu Atap, Ungaran, Semarang Regency. The subjects were students of 8th grade. This research used qualitative that included research, information collecting, and socialization. The researcher chose the familiar and popular narrative texts, such as Pinochio, Frozen, Moana, and designed them in many stories cards. Those cards were distributed to students and they were asked to recreate those stories. The results showed there was an improvement in writing skill through those educative cards. Students got more self confidence in creating some narrative stories. They enjoyed learning English through educative stories cards
