THE EXAMPLE OF COURSE PROJECT

A.      Context

Several weeks ago, there was a student of 10^th grade who asked a help for his homework. His homework is writing a description text, but he feels difficult to write it. At that time, his homework is describing his school by writing. He said that he did not know what should he write first and he felt difficult in constructing the words into sentence with appropriate structure. He also said that he felt those difficulties in writing a text since he was around 8^th grade. So, this program is opened with focus on developing the writing skill.

B.       Needs Analysis

Based on the context, the student needs to be able to write a descriptive text with focus on its unity and coherence (focus on the topic and well-organized) and he also needs to be able to write the text with the appropriate structure (simple present tense).
