INTRODUCTION

           Writing is one of the competences in English. It is considered as the most difficult skill for the students.  selecting the topic is the important thing that students have to do before they start writing. But the fact, when th students start to write, they get difficulty.

In teaching writing, the teacher can use various media. Video film is a kind of media that is usually used in the classroom. According to Stemplesky and Tomalin (1990:6-7) animated film  has difference types of purpose, there are : active viewing, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciations, listening and speaking skill, reading and writing skill, cross-cultural concern, and testing. Teaching with video can be exciting. Four or five minutes video tape material can easily provide enough stimulating input for one hour’s teaching, Lonergan (1984:2).

Animated films are the ones in which individual drawing, paintings, or illustrating is photographed frame by frame. According to Hornby, (1995:171) animated film is a film made photographing a series of a gradually changing drawing, so they look as if they are moving. Animation videos are often directed by to apply by most children, but easily can be enjoyed by all. It means that by using animated film in teaching writing can bring new atmosphere for the students in teaching and learning process.

In junior high school up to senior high school students are obliged to master short functional text such as descriptive text, recount text and also narrative text. Narrative is text which tells a story and entertains or informs the reader or listener (Anderson 1998:8). Narrative usually tells one’s experiences or a short story which states and resolution of problem.

In teaching writing nnarrative,The researcher wants to take a research entitled “the implementation of animated film as material to teach narrative text to eight graders student”.

According to Harmer (2007, 4-5), There are four step how to teach writing, (1).Planning.Writers plan what they are going to write, before starting to write or type, they

Try and decide what it is they are going to say. To make easy, for some writers this may involve making detailed note. When planning, writers have to think about three main issues, the first place they have to consider, the purpose of their writing since this will influence. Not only the type of the text the wish to produce, but also the language they use, and the information they choose to include. The secondly, the writers think of the audience, this will influence not only the shape of the writing, but also the choice of language. For example, it is formal or informal in tone. Thirdly, writers have to consider the content structure of the piece, which means how best to sequence the fact, ideas, or arguments which they have decide to include. (2) Drafting. it can refer to the first version of a piece of writing as a draft. This first ‘go’ at Text is often done on the assumption that it will be amended later. At the writing process proceeds into editing, a number of drafts may be produced on the way the final version. (3)Editing .(Reflecting and Revising) Writers have to produce a draft, they then, usually, read though what they have Written to see where it works and where it does not. Although, the order of information is not clear and also the ambiguous or confusing, they can move paragraph around or write a new introduction and also they may use a different form of words for a particular sentence. Reflection and revising are often helped by other readers who comment and make suggestion. For another reader’s reaction to piece of writing will help the author to make a appropriate revisions. (5)Final Version Writers have edited their draft, making changes they consider to be necessary, They produce their final version. This may look considerably different from both the                 original plan and the first draft, because things have changed in the editing process.

For the writer is now ready to send the written text to it intended audience

Those stage in the following by: 

                Planning à drafting à editing à final version

 Media is one of the ways in teaching new material to the students is to use many kinds of media. Commonly, media can be divided into three types. They are visual media, audio media, and audio visual

There are some steps that have to be done in order to reach the successful in teaching writing using video, especially there stages in writing: pre writing, whilst writing, and post writing.

In this activity students should take a note about the important part in the animated film. (d) Whilst Writing activities,In whilst writing activity is includes the post viewing activity. The students are asked to make summary about way they have watched in the form of narrative composition. (e)Post writing activities.The teacher collects the student work then asks some students to present their work in front of the class.

Second, qualitative data are described in the forms of words rather than number. Third, the sample taken is determined purposefully. Fourth, data analysis is one while collecting and interpreting data. The last, a context and meaning is an essential concern to the qualitative approach. It means that the research that uses this approach focuses on how people make sense of their experience. There is no attempt to predict what will happen in the future but rather to understand a unique and particular context. This study is categorized as descriptive qualitative since it met those five characteristics above.
