Abstract	Writing skill is an important part in communication. Good writing allows us to communicate or deliver our messages to audiences clearly. But, most people think that writing is difficult. They don't understand how to compile ideas and elaborate them. It also happened among junior high school students. They said writing, particularly in English, was difficult. They didn't have self confidence in writing. They were afraid if their writing results were not good enough because of the lack of vocabularies and grammatical errors. Based on the statement above, the researcher did a research. The aim of the research was to enhance students' writing skill in narrative texts. It was held in SMPN 6 Satu Atap, Ungaran, Semarang Regency. The subjects were students of 8 grade. This research used qualitative that included research, information collecting, and socialization.
