Improving the Second Year Students Ability in Writing Narrative Paragraphs by Using Picture Series

Abstract

This collaborative classroom action research was directed to obtain information about how the second grade students ability in writing a narrative paragraph improved by using picture series. Specifically, it was intended to develop the strategy of using picture series to improve the students ability in writing narrative paragraphs. The result shows that the appropriate model of using picture series in the teaching of writing narrative paragraphs contains some procedures and has some strengths in improving the students ability in writing narrative paragraphs. The improvements resulted from the use of series of pictures in the form of cartoon and series of questions related to the pictures.
