Here, I am going to teach the concept of a text namely recount text. In this case, I try to make my students understand easily the concept of recount text. So, I ask all my students to memorize its concept through Indonesian old traditional song namely NAIK NAIK KE PUNCAK GUNUNG. This song comes from Maluku / Ambon province. It is a national music of Indonesia.

Look the following lyrics!

Naik naik ke puncak gunung
Tinggi tinggi sekali
Naik naik ke puncak gunung
Tinggi tinggi sekali

Kiri kanan kulihat saja
Banyak pohon cemara
Kiri kanan kulihat saja
Banyak pohon cemara

Now let’s song my lyrics!

My friends, my friends let’s study recount
It tells about our past events
My friends, my friends let’s study recount
It tells about events in sequence

Orientation, events, and Re-O
They are structure of recount, my friends
We may write it, in simple past tense
Let’s enjoy telling recount my friends

Preparation:

As teacher, we must prepare the material that will be given to our students. In this case, a concept of recount text is written into lyrics of a chosen song. Look the example above..

Procedures:
Ask the students to discuss about the concept of recount Text
Explain it clearly to students
Write down that concept on white board or black board.
Let’s sing it together
Ask student to memorize it.
Ask student to present it individually, in front of the class or teacher.

Assessment:
To know our students whether they understand or not about the concept of recount text, they are asked to memorize it then present it individually.

If they have done it, note his/ her name by giving the word or a sign that he or she “UNDERSTAND” or “NOT UNDERSTAND” the concept of recount text.
