Pamela (2004: 346) there are some steps to teach Narrative

Text by using Story Mapping Technique they are :

a. Introduce to the students the concept of story map and the
benefits of it. Tell the students that story map would be
helpful to develop their reading comprehension of a story.
b. Explain the major components of story map through
identifying a story first concerning to figure out the title, the
theme of the story, the important characters and personality
traits of specific participants of a story. identifying the
orientation or significant plot developments.
c. Teacher needs to give the interactive instruction for each
story component clearly. Build questioning to the students
before or after reading the story to construct their motivation
or to check their comprehension. After students read a story,
let them fill out section of the story map worksheet. Make
sure that all the components of story map form are defined.
d. Direct them when the students commit errors to reread the
story using guidance question even modeling to help them
come up with an appropriate response, to make the students
get the focus on the target of reading.

e. Ask students to read independently. Encourage them to write

the answers using key words. After that, give some
comments to the students for appropriately identifying story
map elements. And then evaluate the answers to make sure
them fix to the appropriate questions.
f. Have students through selected stories and complete the story
map worksheet after they read the story. And then, check the
students‟ responses and share individually with those
students requiring additional guidance and support them.
 g. Prepare some exercises and give them to the students to
evaluate. It will measure the students comprehension of the
story. It is done individually through to take students‟ daily
score.
This step can also applied by teacher to teach Descriptive
text using Story Mapping Technique.
1. Concept of Story Mapping Technique
The concept of using a story map in teaching reading
comprehension of Descriptive text proposed by the researcher in
this research as follows :
a. Teacher gives the story map outline to the students when they
are reading a descriptive text. The story map consists of
Identification and description. It can guide the students to know
what information that they need to find from the text and help
the students to organize their idea by narrowing it into the
organizer which is easier to understand. The teacher makes the
story map as interesting as they can to enhance the student’s
motivation.
b. Teacher explain the story map outline, the content in it and
how to fill it. After that, the teacher ask the students to make a
story map of descriptive text by themselves.
c. To measure the student’s understanding, the teacher gives
them some question about identifying the main idea, finding
the elements of descriptive text from the text and answering
questions based on the text. By doing those steps the teacher
would know whether the use of story map can help the students
to understand the text or not.
d. Story Mapping technique facilitate the students to organize
their idea about the elements of a descriptive text, so that can
help them to comprehend the information from the text. When
the students have applied the story map technique and they
were asked questions about the text, they can refer to their map
because a map hold student’s thinking and help the students
recall information, thought and question they had while reading.
