e. Pertanyaan yang merujuk pada orientation,

Sesuai topik frightening experience, yang barangkali pernah dialami oleh para siswa. Beberapa pertanyaan berikut dapat diberikan kepada mereka:

Pertanyaan yang merujuk kepada orientation: - Have you ever got a terrible or frightening

experience? - Where did it happen?

B) discussing the structure and practicing to write.

Meminta menganalisis bentuk formal teks yang sedang dibaca untuk menyimpulkan communicative purpose, genre, dan rhetorical structure.

Merumuskan tujuan teks (communicative purpose) narrative text dibuat untuk mengisahkan suatu pengalaman masa lalu yang bersifat problematic, dengan tujuan menghibur sekaligus memberikan pelajaran moral yang bermanfaat, untuk dapat memberikan kontribusi perilaku (attitude) yang positif kepada pembaca.

Mendefinisikan bentuk genre. Genre adalah teks yang berisikan kisah pengalaman masa lalu yang bersifat problematik adalah narration

Mengidentifikasikan rhetorical structure teks. Rhetorical structure untuk teks narrative adalah : orientation, description of the problematic even, resolution, coda (optional)

Mendiskusikan grammatical pattern di bawah bimbingan guru, untuk mengidentifikasi : (1) types and kinds of sentences, (2) kinds of tenses, (3) textual devices yang sangat umum yang digunakan di dalam menulis narrative text pada khususnya dan teks lain pada umumnya.

Self-Text Construction Memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa

berlatih menulis jenis teks narrative. Guru dapat menyuguhkan dua macam topik untuk dikembangkan oleh para siswa, misalnya:

Embarrassing experience :Suatu pengalaman yang cukup memalukan yang mungkin perhah dialami oleh siswa sendiri atau dialami orang lain

Terrible experience, suatu pengalaman yang tidak menyenangkan, yang mungkin pernah dialami oleh para siswa di waktu lalu.

B. Linguistic Realization

Objective: Menerangkan pola-pola penerapan grammar (grammar pattern) yang sangat umum untuk merealisasikan informasi, pesan, atau ide-ide dalam kalimat-kalimat yang efektif, khususnya untuk teks narratives dan teks-teks lain pada umumnya

Penguasaan kalimat (sentence acquisition) sangat penting.

Guru tidak perlu merasa bosan mengulangi menerangkan sentence element dan basic sentence pattern.

Bagian yang paling penting pada setiap kalimat adalah predicate (traditional grammar), atau process (dalam analisis transitivity, atau ideational meaning menurut functional grammar) atau predicator (dalam analisis interpersonal meaning menurut functional grammar)

Dalam kaitannya dengan penulisan teks narrative ,perlu dibahas beberapa topic grammatical patterns berikut:

The nature of sentence: susunan kata yang di dalamnya sudah terdapat bagian yang menduduki jabatan subjek dan predicate bisa disebut sebagai kalimat.

A sentence is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb to express a complete thought which begins with capital letter and ended with period. A sentence can be performed from one or two clauses that joined with conjunctions for relative connectors .

Example: “Once upon time in Batakland” is not

a sentence. It doesn’t have a subject or a verb as the predicate. It doesn’t express a complete thought.

“Once upon time in Batakland lived a fisherman named Bhatara Guru Sahala” is a sentence. It has expressed a complete thought, which is marked with the presence of subject and a verb as the predicate.

It is a sentence because it has a subject ( a fisherman) and a verb as the predicate (lived). When fleshed out further, this sentence has employed several adverbs; time, and place. The sentence is made up of two clauses; (1) independent clauses , “Once upon time in Batakland lived a fisherman” and (2) dependent clause which is reduced , “that was named Bhatara Guru Sahala”.

As a tough fisherman, he went out fishing every morning is a sentence. It has expressed complete thought because it has a subject (he) and a verb as the predicate (went out fishing). It also has two adverbs; status (as a tough fisherman), time (every morning).

2. Elements of sentence Setelah menerangkan definisi

kalimat, guru dapat menerangkan elemen-elemen pembentuk kalimat itu sendiri:subject, predicate, adjective, and adverb yang berfungsi untuk meningkatkan kejelasan informasi yang disampaikan.

A sentence consists of several related elements in it. Subject, predicate, object and adverb. Subject must be a noun , predicate must be a verb and object must be a noun. Either subject or object can take the form of a word, a phrase, or clause, while predicate can only take the form of phrase, which are formed by using prepositions, Therefore, each preposition is usually used in the adverbial phrase.

Example: “They were happily married and got two beautiful smart daughters”.

The sentence consists of two clauses; (1) they were happily married,(2) They got two beautiful smart daughters. When they are fleshed out, the elements of the two sentences are:

“They were happily married and got two beautiful smart daughters”.

Subject a Noun

Adverb =time,place

etc.

A phrase: -

Word : A word :

A clause : -

A phrase : -

A clause : -

3. Adverb Salah satu bagian dalam kalimat

yang berfungsi untuk meningkatkan kejelasan informasi adalah adver, yang dapat berupa adverb of time, place, purpose, reason, condition,consequence, etc.

Adverb plays important in its role of contributing for better clarity of the message conveyed in the sentence. It can express the information about time, place, reason, purpose, status, and frequency. Los of adverbs are marked with the use of prepositions: in, at, after, as, to, etc. Adverb can be in the form of ‘word’ or ‘phrase’

Example: once upon time -to the river As a tough fisherman - as soon as One day - day and night

4. Types of sentence Setelah para guru menerangkan

definisi kalimat kemudian menerangkan elemen-elemen kalimat, jenis-jenis kalimat yang ditinjau dari segi kompleksitas isi informasi yang dituangkan perlu diterangkan kepada para siswa : simple, compound, complex, dan compound sentence.

Message, either to give good information or demand good information, can be expressed in different types of sentence: simple sentence, compound sentence, complex sentence or the combination of compound and complex sentence. Thus sentence becomes the skeleton a written text, no matter how long or short the text is. The core of a sentence is the “verb” employed as the predicate.

A) Simple sentence It is a single clause, of which it has

one subject and one verb that functions as the predicate. The predicate expresses the ‘process of doing’ or ‘acting’. Whenever the predicate takes the form of ‘be’ , it functions ‘to relate’ the subject as the action or doer and the attribute or status that follow.

Example: My aunt was very frightened She tried to manage herself to quiet Unfortunately, she failed to do it. She screamed out very loudly She called some neighbors for some

help. She ran out and in to try to chase the

snake out of the room She failed to do so.

When the predicate takes the ‘verb of doing’ , it can be transitive or intransitive. An object must be added to the transitive verb, but it mustn’t be when the predicate is intransitive.

Example: Transitive Vern + Object She tried to manage herself to be quiet She called some neighbors for some help Some neighbors suggested using salt to

chase it away She spread the salt over the snake and the

floor of the living room.

Intransitive verb + X + Adverb She screamed out very loudly She ran out and in to try to chase

the snake out of the room. She failed to do so She went to the kitchen to get a cup of

salt. When the predicate take ‘be’ ( am, is,

are, was, were), or ‘modal be’ (will be, must be, should be,….) and adjective, and adverb or noun must be added to it.

When the predicate take ‘be’ ( am, is, are, was, were), or ‘modal be’ (will be, must be, should be,….) and adjective, and adverb or noun must be added to it

Example: My aunt was very frightened My aunt was so relieved to see the

snakes leaving the room with out making any room harm to anybody.

The presence of one or more adverbs make the information given in the sentence clearer

Example: She tried to manage herself = the

information is clear. She tried to manage herself to be

quiet = the information is clearer She called some neighbors = the

information is clear She called some neighbors for some

help = the information is clearer.

Some neighbors suggested using salt = information is clear.

Some neighbors suggested using salt to chase it away. = the information is clearer.

She spread the salt = the information is clearer

She spread the salt over the snake and the floor of the living room = The information is clearer.

In one sentence, it is always possible to use more than one verb in order that the information is clearer.

Then she went to the kitchen (1) to get a cup of salt.(2)

Using the right hand (1) , she spread the salt over the snake and the floor of the living room (2)

Several verbs are mostly used in a combination with other verbs to express complete thought, such as : begin to move, begin to leave, try to manage, run out and in.

Not long after that, the snake slowly begin to move its body

Through the opened door, it began to leave the room.

She tried to manage herself to be quiet. She ran out and in to try to chase the

snake out of the room

B) Compound sentence It is two simple sentences that join

together with the help of (1) coordinating words such as ; and, but, yet, or so. (2) conjunctive adverbs (besides, furthermore, moreover, however, nevertheless, otherwise, accordingly, consequently, hence, therefore, thus, (3) semicolon (;).

Example: My aunt was very frightened, but she

tried to manage herself to be quiet. She failed to do it, so she creamed

out very loudly and then called some neighbors for some help.

She ran out and in to try to chase the snake out of the room but she failed to do so.

C) Complex sentence For the purpose of clarity I the information to

give a complex sentence or compound complex sentence needs to e used. It is a sentence that is made up of one independent clause and one or more dependent clause. Practically, it can be defined that a dependent clause is a clause which begins with subordinating words such as while, when as soon as, if, that, who, which, although, because etc. The dependent clause can function as both adjective )which, that who) and adverb (although, while, when, as soon as, if , because, etc.

Example: As the trip got farther leaving our

house, funny sound began to come out of the engine.

We thought that it was nothing serious as I had the car checked two days before our trip.

When I opened the cap, I found out that it ran out of water.

D) Compound complex It is the combination of compound

sentence and complex sentence, The sentence longer than the simple or complex as both coordinating words (and, but, or) and subordinating words ( if, when, because, although, etc) are used.

Example: Nothing seemed go wrong in the

beginning with our car, but funny sound began to come out of the engine as the trio got farther leaving our house.

Not until out eyes got out of the signals, the car stopped and it got burn.

We left the cap open and wait for the engine to cool down before we filled up the radiator with enough water.

E) Sequence marker In order that the flow of information

(from one sentence which is then followed by the order sentence) can be coherently realized throughout the text, sequence markers are used. The sequence makers are ‘first, then, after that, next, finally.

Example:

First, my aunt was very frightened, but she tried to manage herself to quiet. After that, she ran out and in to try to chase the snake out of the room, but she failed to do so.

Some neighbors suggested using salt to chase it away. Then she went to the kitchen to get a cup of salt.

F. Past Tense One of the most frequently used tense to tell

about past activities or events in past tense. It is marked with the use of past tense verb in the predicate.

Example: That day was so nice, and each of us looked very

happy. We were only in two with Empira and planned to

go to Yogyakarta to visit some famous places of interest there.

We left for Yogyakarta at about 7:00

G. The use of adverb is meant to enhance the clarity in the information in the sentence. Prepositions begin most adverbs, such as to, in, at, out, of, on, for, until, etc. Adverb can take the form of phrase or clause with conjunction, as, before, although, etc.

Adverb phrase A. in two with Empira B. to go to Yogyakarta To visit some famous places of interest At 7.00

Adverb clause As the trip got farther leaving our house Before we filled up the radiator tank with enough

water. Example: We were only in two with Empira and planned to go

to Yogyakarta to visit some famous places of interest.

We left Yogyakarta at about 7:00 Nothing seemed go wrong in the beginning with out

car, but funny sound began to come out of the engine as the trip got farther leaving our house.

We left the cap open and wait for the engine to cool down before we filled up the radiator tank with enough water.
