This study utilized a case study research design in which an English teacher became the participant. The data were obtained from interview and documents analysis.

The second finding showed that the teacher had provided various activities in writing development in which the students should use their thinking skill, such as: drawing a school map and writing based on the picture they draw, or open response to a picture.Keywords: writing, young learners, meaningful language, story
