The mean of the previous score was 46.25 and the mean score of the students’ writing in Cycle 1 was 59.69. The students’ involvement in writing activities was more than what had been stated in the criteria of success. This situation implied that the second criterion of success had not been fulfilled. Better improvement of mean score is gained from the preliminary study to the Cycle 2.
