- The background of the study is the students often face difficulties to create characters, settings, plots, and conflicts of narrative text. This thesis discusses the effectiveness of using Basket Stories to improve the narrative writing skill. Basket Stories maybe considered efficient to facilitate students in writing narrative text. The study is aimed to find out whether Basket Stories can improve the students’ narrative writing skill or not. The topic is discussed through the experimental research at the Tenth grade of MAN Lasem in the academic year of 2015/2016. Class X Science 1 and X Science 4 were used as the data sources to find out the effectiveness of using Basket Stories to improve the narrative writing skill. The data is gathered through test and documentation. In taking the sample, the writer used simple random sampling technique. Class X Science 1 was chosen as experimental class who were taught writing narrative text using Basket Stories and class X Science 4 as control class who were taught writing narrative text without using Basket Stories. The instrument used to collect the data was writing test or essay test. The assessment of the test result was focused on the five elements of writing (contents, organization, vocabulary, grammar and mechanic). The technique to analyze the data was t-test formula. It was used to determine whether there is or there is not a significant difference between the average scores of the experimental class and the control class.The average score of post- test of experimental class was 68.60 which were higher than the average score of post test of the control class 58.60. Based on the calculation result of t-test is obtained tcount(4.992) was higher than the ttable(1.66). Since the tcountwas higher than ttable, the hypothesis is accepted. It means that there is a significant difference in writing skill improvement between students who are taught writing narrative text by using Basket Stories and those who are taught without Basket Stories. Based on the result of this research, the writer suggests that Basket Stories may be used as alternative technique in teaching writing especially in teaching writing narrative text. Then, hopefully, students are able to create characters, settings, plots, and conflicts of narrative text more easily.
