THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Learning Strategies
According
to
Iskandarwassid
(2011:7) a learning strategy is a persons
approach to learning and using
information. Students use learning
strategies to help them understand
information and solve problems. Students
who do not know or use good learning
strategies often learn passively and
ultimately fail in school. Learning
Strategy instruction focuses on making
students more active learners by teaching
them how to learn and how to use what
they have learned to be successful.
According to Djamarah (2011:233)
learning strategy can be described as the
nature and behavior. Rubin conducted a
study on the difference between the
properties of successful language learning
and language learner properties that do
not work, while Oxford defines learning
strategies as "behaviors or actions taken
by learners in order to be more successful
language learning, focused, and fun".
Writing
According to Alice (1999:2) writing
is a discovery process that involves
discovering ideas, how to organize them
and what that you want to put over to your
order, so a lot of what a researcher does as
a researcher doesnt actually appear on the
page. It is a means of communication.
Whenever the researcher want to write, he
has to knowing the audience or reader, it
will help in reaching and the goal is
communicate clearly and effectively.
According to Groth (2013:1) there
are three basic principles in academic
writing, namely, content, register, and
offences. Referring to content, it should be
made clear, specific, and relevant. The
register should be formal, to the point, and
concise. On the other hand, academic
writing should be free from offences and,
in most cases, should avoid sensitive
issues.

Recount Text
According to Hyland (2004:39)
recount is a kind of genre that has social
function to retell event for the purpose of
informing or entertaining. The tense that
used in recount text is past tense. Social
purpose of recount is to reconstruct past
experiences by retelling events in original
sequence. We can look at the sample of
recount in personal letters, police report,
insurance claims, and incident reports.
According to Anderson (1997:48) a
recount is speaking or writing about past
events or a piece of text that retells past
events, usually in the order which they
happened. Recount text means the form of
the text telling about someone experience
in the past that used in curriculum 2004,
there for the experience of the readers
themselves, such as their adventure and
their days activities. Recount text means
telling about oneself adventures or the
days activities.
Story Maps
Acording to Khatib (2012:1116) a
Story Maps is considered as a kind of
graphic organizer which includes a visual
aid that displays the chunks of
information to be studied. And a Story
Maps help students understand the
components of the story. The Story Maps
is a visual depiction of the setting or the
sequence of major events and actions of
story characters with the aim of enabling
students to relate story events and to
perceive structure in literary selections.
According to Kurniawan (2013:5)
Story Maps is a technique used after a
story has been read. It includes identifying
the main elements, and categorizing the
main events in sequential order. A graphic
representation is often used to illuistrated
the story structure and sequence of events.
A Story Maps is a visual depiction of the
settings or the sequence of major events
and actions of story characters. This
procedure enables students to relate story
events and to perceive in literary.
RESEARCH METODOLOGY
Research Design
The research is experimental
research. An experimental research is the
traditional approach to conducting
quantitative research Creswell (2005:282).
In an experiment, test an idea (or practice
or procedure) to determine whether it
influence an outcome or dependent
variable. An experiment is use establish
possible cause and effect between the
independent dependent variables. This
means that researcher control all variables
that influences the outcome expect for the
independent variable.
It involves two groups, an
experimental group and control group.
They were treats differently: however, the
teachers, the length of the time, and the
material are same. The experimental
group treated by story maps learning
strategies, while the control one treated as
usual without story maps learning
strategies.

Hypothesis Testing
Hypothesis testing used to know
how the result of the research. In this
study the researcher used hypothesis
testing was null hypothesis.

Based on the calculation of t-test

two tail test is 2,00 (Sudijono, 2012). We
could see the significant difference
between tobs and ttable was much greater.
(2,45 > 2,00).
It can be conclude, because of tobs
was much greater than ttable, the null
hypothesis is rejected and alternative
hypothesis is accepted. And the
alternative hypothesis is There is a

Interpretation Data
In teaching writing to the second
year students of SMP IT Syahruddiniyah
Kampar Kiri Hilir, the writer used story
maps to build students understanding of
concepts and in writing story, as well as
expand the ideas and creativity of the
students become better. There has been
research conduct on the many and varied
benefits of using story maps to enhance
lesson with preschool and elementary age
school children.
Firstly, teacher ask students to read
the class a picture book example of the
plot pattern were studying. Second,
students gathering concepts/ ideas from
the book and add them to idea bank form.
Third, students choose character graphics.
Fourth, students create a story maps for
the children using one or more new
character graphics. Fifth, teacher let
students to create their own story maps
using one or more of the new character
graphics provide them. They will also
base their story problem on the same
concept/ idea you models and collected
from the author. Sixth, the point of these
story planning sessions is to build the
concept of story problem and resolution.
Seventh, repeat this process of: reading
books, collecting ideas, modeling a story
maps, and students creating own story
maps five times. If students show a strong
grasp of the plot structure go on to writing
a story which uses this pattern.

that was teaching writing skills by using
story maps. Basically, she has been able
to compile recount text at the pretest,
