This research deploys a quantitative research using experiment method by applying static group comparison design. The sample of this research is grade ten students which are chosen by using purposive random technique. The finding suggests several things.First, there is impact in using cooperative learning approach type think pair share towards students' skill in writing observation report text. Second, there's also impact of the higher and the lower students' interest in reading toward students' skill in writing observation report text. Third, there's no relation between cooperative learning approach type think pair share and students' interest in reading toward students'skill in writing observation report text. Keywords-effect; think pair share; reading interest; observation report I. INTRODUCTION The learning of bahasa Indonesia aims to to train students to be able to perform an effective and efficient communication based on common norms and rules applied in society, written or unwritten, stated by Abidin in Juliawati (2015, p.2). Furthermore, it is expected that the students can train their skills in writing. Writing skill is a skill of converting ideas into a written form by constructing whole, complete and clear sentences which can be understood by the readers. However, writing seems to be an obstacle for number of students. It can be seen from Huy (2015, p.53) that students have problems in writing due to their lack of focus. Therefore, a better learning approach is needed. Cooperative learning approach type think pair share can be applied to fulfill this goal. Marhaeni in Nwaubani (2016, p. 4) finds there"s a significant impact of cooperative learning approach towards students" confidence (F = 754.104 dan sig = 0,000; p <0,05) and also students" skill in speaking (F = 60,325 dan sig = 0,000; p <0,05). Writing skill is necessarily needed to be mastered by the students as it is demanded in Curriculum 2013. Thus, it provides some text genres; one of them is observation report text. Writing skill of Grade X sudents demanded in KI 4, KD 4.2. Nevertheless, the problems founded during the learning. As it is found by Juwani (2015, p.130) that grade X students of SMA N 3 Purbalingga had problems in writing this text. They only achieved scores below the level of 70. Moreover, the researcher also found similar problems in SMA N 1 Payakumbuh. Based on the interview conducted on July 18, 2017, Ernageni as the teacher of bahasa Indonesia found out that the students face several problems in writing. First, they do not have a good skill in writing due to their lack of interest in reading. As the result, they do not comprehend the structure, language features and social function of observation report text. Second, students do not get well motivated in writing as well as they do not get enough exercises in writing. Third, the learning approach used by teachers is not attractive enough in engaging students" attention. Cooperative learning approach type think pair share is expected to facilitatee the students during learning process. In addition, students can comprehend language features in observation report text easily. Also, students can do the exercise way easier since they do it in pair. Students" achievement in writing could also be influenced by their interest in reading. Ariani (2015, p. 1) states that students" interest in reading give impacts to students" skill in writing a story in grade X SMA N 4 Bandar Lampung. In addition, Wiyanti (2014, p. 89) says students" interest in reading influences their speaking skill in SMA N of Jakarta. Also, Hardiyanti (2014, p. 1) claims that students" interesting in reading give impacts to students" skill in writing speech in grade IX Middle School 2 Tambun Selatan.

Especially if speaking of the industrial revolution 4.0 concerns that literature drama is no longer a subject favored by students. Even if it is examining a lot of the value of life that can be taken through the stories conveyed in the drama script. Related to literacy, there are not many students who want to read drama scripts, especially with advances in technology and communication lately. Students are no longer interested in print media or in the form of textbooks, because all information they can receive through technological media. Therefore, it is necessary to design a drama appreciation learning model that is able to generate student literacy through multimedia-assisted learning.Multimedia assisted learning utilizes technology in the drama appreciation learning process.

This is because Indonesian academics are not familiar with the appropriate rhetorical style of English research articles although they can write academic texts in English reasonably well. This study investigated the rhetorical problems experienced by Indonesian lecturers in social sciences and humanities when writing research articles for international journals. In this study, all sections (abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion) of research article drafts written by Indonesian academics were analysed based on their rhetorical styles following the models suggested by Swales (1990, 2004), Swales and Feak (2009), Lim (2006), and Peacock (2011). The results show that Indonesian authors have significant rhetorical problems in writing the introduction, results and discussion sections but few problems with writing abstracts and the methods section...

Students' writing is difficult to read. Writing the alphabet and numbers seems still not good and neat, this will hurt the students themselves.When examining the results of the exercise, the teacher has difficulty reading the writing of students, and as a result students get low scores. This type of research is field research to describe Indonesian learning activities from aspects of writing. Data collection used in this study, obtained from interviews, and documentation. The results showed that writing learning received less attention from the teacher which resulted in students' writing difficult to read. Keywords-writing; elementary school; learning model; process approach I. INTRODUCTION Reading and writing are closely related and are the gateway to learning productivity in today's digital age. Governments, teachers and parents have a big role in the education of learners in Elementary School. With proper reading and writing materials, a conducive environment, and teachers with adequate educational qualifications, good reading and writing skills will help produce learners who perform well in other subjects (Amutha, 2015). Writing skills have an important role to increase the competence of learners, especially in the field of communication and interact with the environment (Javed, Juan, & Nazli, 2013). However, writing received less attention from teachers and parents of learners. The difficulties of learners in writing seem to be commonplace in the early phases of education. If allowed to continue, this will harm the students themselves. Learners need to read a lot to improve their writing skills (DeMichele and Ozark, 2015). Learners in writing should be given a topic related to what is experienced (Hashemi and Mirzaei, 2015). Learners need to have an understanding and writing skills, and teachers should develop an appropriate and planned plan of writing learning with effective learning strategies. The support and guidance of teachers in writing is necessary for students to complete their tasks well (Ahangari, Hejazi, and Razmjou, 2014). The effort of teachers in membelajarkan learners is an important part in achieving the success of the planned learning objectives of writing. One of the efforts is the selection of various models of learning. Appropriate learning model can increase the activity of learners in writing, and it is expected that teachers can choose various models of learning tailored to the level of development of learners. Some of the things that will be discussed in this paper are; (a) how is the writing activity activity in the third grade of elementary school? (b) what is the model of the learning approach to writing in the third grade of elementary school? Writing can be regarded as a process or a result. Writing is an activity that someone does to produce a writing. Actually writing activities that produce a writing we often do, for example, record messages or write messages for friends. Writing is to derive or represent graphic symbols depicting a language that a person understands, so that others can read the graphic symbols if they understand the language and graphic picture (Tarigan, 1998). According Nurgiyantoro (2005) writing is an activity express ideas through the media language. Writing is a productive and expressive activity so the writer must have the ability to use vocabulary, grammar, and language structure. Based on the opinion of the experts above it can be concluded that writing is an activity to paint the graphic symbol and pour ideas through the language media. Students in elementary school are focused on reading and writing learning. Writing can be grouped into two, ie write the beginning and write further. The type of writing outline is to write the beginning and write further. 1) Beginning writing begins by holding the right pencil. Level of beginning, writing activity is more dominated by things that are mechanical. Such mechanical activity may be; a good sitting posture in writing, how to hold a pencil / stationery, how to hold a book, and relax the

The test instruments made by teachers must fulfil the requirements (validity, reliability, and standard error of measurement) until the measurement result obtained can describe the students' actual abilities. This research aims to analyse the content validity (quantitative and qualitative), empirical validity, reliability, and standard error of measurement of semester final exam test instruments on Physics Grade XII Senior High School academic year 2017/2018 designed by teachers. The data analysis was based on 5 question documents (135 items) made by teachers and 555 answer sheets of the students at five schools. The research results show that teachers' ability in making the test instruments of the semester final exam is still limited. It is proven as a problem found through the representation of the analysis result based on the test of content validity, empirical validation, reliability and standard errors of measurement. It is suggested that school principals or the Educational Authority should hold effective training regularly and invite teachers to participate in it to sharpen their skills in making effective test instruments.

Third, there's no relation between cooperative learning approach type think pair share and students' interest in reading toward students'skill in writing observation report text. Keywords-effect; think pair share; reading interest; observation report I. INTRODUCTION The learning of bahasa Indonesia aims to to train students to be able to perform an effective and efficient communication based on common norms and rules applied in society, written or unwritten, stated by Abidin in Juliawati (2015, p.2). Furthermore, it is expected that the students can train their skills in writing. Writing skill is a skill of converting ideas into a written form by constructing whole, complete and clear sentences which can be understood by the readers. However, writing seems to be an obstacle for number of students. It can be seen from Huy (2015, p.53) that students have problems in writing due to their lack of focus. Therefore, a better learning approach is needed. Cooperative learning approach type think pair share can be applied to fulfill this goal. Marhaeni in Nwaubani (2016, p. 4) finds there"s a significant impact of cooperative learning approach towards students" confidence (F = 754.104 dan sig = 0,000; p <0,05) and also students" skill in speaking (F = 60,325 dan sig = 0,000; p <0,05). Writing skill is necessarily needed to be mastered by the students as it is demanded in Curriculum 2013. Thus, it provides some text genres; one of them is observation report text. Writing skill of Grade X sudents demanded in KI 4, KD 4.2. Nevertheless, the problems founded during the learning. As it is found by Juwani (2015, p.130) that grade X students of SMA N 3 Purbalingga had problems in writing this text. They only achieved scores below the level of 70. Moreover, the researcher also found similar problems in SMA N 1 Payakumbuh. Based on the interview conducted on July 18, 2017, Ernageni as the teacher of bahasa Indonesia found out that the students face several problems in writing. First, they do not have a good skill in writing due to their lack of interest in reading. As the result, they do not comprehend the structure, language features and social function of observation report text. Second, students do not get well motivated in writing as well as they do not get enough exercises in writing. Third, the learning approach used by teachers is not attractive enough in engaging students" attention. Cooperative learning approach type think pair share is expected to facilitatee the students during learning process. In addition, students can comprehend language features in observation report text easily. Also, students can do the exercise way easier since they do it in pair. Students" achievement in writing could also be influenced by their interest in reading. Ariani (2015, p. 1) states that students" interest in reading give impacts to students" skill in writing a story in grade X SMA N 4 Bandar Lampung. In addition, Wiyanti (2014, p. 89) says students" interest in reading influences their speaking skill in SMA N of Jakarta. Also, Hardiyanti (2014, p. 1) claims that students" interesting in reading give impacts to students" skill in writing speech in grade IX Middle School 2 Tambun Selatan.

Especially if speaking of the industrial revolution 4.0 concerns that literature drama is no longer a subject favored by students. Even if it is examining a lot of the value of life that can be taken through the stories conveyed in the drama script. Related to literacy, there are not many students who want to read drama scripts, especially with advances in technology and communication lately. Students are no longer interested in print media or in the form of textbooks, because all information they can receive through technological media. Therefore, it is necessary to design a drama appreciation learning model that is able to generate student literacy through multimedia-assisted learning.Multimedia assisted learning utilizes technology in the drama appreciation learning process. Thus, l...

This is because Indonesian academics are not familiar with the appropriate rhetorical style of English research articles although they can write academic texts in English reasonably well. This study investigated the rhetorical problems experienced by Indonesian lecturers in social sciences and humanities when writing research articles for international journals. In this study, all sections (abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion) of research article drafts written by Indonesian academics were analysed based on their rhetorical styles following the models suggested by Swales (1990, 2004), Swales and Feak (2009), Lim (2006), and Peacock (2011). The results show that Indonesian authors have significant rhetorical problems in writing the introduction, results and discussion sections but few problems with writing abstracts and the methods section...

Students' writing is difficult to read. Writing the alphabet and numbers seems still not good and neat, this will hurt the students themselves.When examining the results of the exercise, the teacher has difficulty reading the writing of students, and as a result students get low scores. This type of research is field research to describe Indonesian learning activities from aspects of writing. Data collection used in this study, obtained from interviews, and documentation. The results showed that writing learning received less attention from the teacher which resulted in students' writing difficult to read. Keywords-writing; elementary school; learning model; process approach I. INTRODUCTION Reading and writing are closely related and are the gateway to learning productivity in today's digital age. Governments, teachers and parents have a big role in the education of learners in Elementary School. With proper reading and writing materials, a conducive environment, and teachers with adequate educational qualifications, good reading and writing skills will help produce learners who perform well in other subjects (Amutha, 2015). Writing skills have an important role to increase the competence of learners, especially in the field of communication and interact with the environment (Javed, Juan, & Nazli, 2013). However, writing received less attention from teachers and parents of learners. The difficulties of learners in writing seem to be commonplace in the early phases of education. If allowed to continue, this will harm the students themselves. Learners need to read a lot to improve their writing skills (DeMichele and Ozark, 2015). Learners in writing should be given a topic related to what is experienced (Hashemi and Mirzaei, 2015). Learners need to have an understanding and writing skills, and teachers should develop an appropriate and planned plan of writing learning with effective learning strategies. The support and guidance of teachers in writing is necessary for students to complete their tasks well (Ahangari, Hejazi, and Razmjou, 2014). The effort of teachers in membelajarkan learners is an important part in achieving the success of the planned learning objectives of writing. One of the efforts is the selection of various models of learning. Appropriate learning model can increase the activity of learners in writing, and it is expected that teachers can choose various models of learning tailored to the level of development of learners. Some of the things that will be discussed in this paper are; (a) how is the writing activity activity in the third grade of elementary school? (b) what is the model of the learning approach to writing in the third grade of elementary school? Writing can be regarded as a process or a result. Writing is an activity that someone does to produce a writing. Actually writing activities that produce a writing we often do, for example, record messages or write messages for friends. Writing is to derive or represent graphic symbols depicting a language that a person understands, so that others can read the graphic symbols if they understand the language and graphic picture (Tarigan, 1998). According Nurgiyantoro (2005) writing is an activity express ideas through the media language. Writing is a productive and expressive activity so the writer must have the ability to use vocabulary, grammar, and language structure. Based on the opinion of the experts above it can be concluded that writing is an activity to paint the graphic symbol and pour ideas through the language media. Students in elementary school are focused on reading and writing learning. Writing can be grouped into two, ie write the beginning and write further. The type of writing outline is to write the beginning and write further. 1) Beginning writing begins by holding the right pencil. Level of beginning, writing activity is more dominated by things that are mechanical. Such mechanical activity may be; a good sitting posture in writing, how to hold a pencil / stationery, how to hold a book, and relax the

The test instruments made by teachers must fulfil the requirements (validity, reliability, and standard error of measurement) until the measurement result obtained can describe the students' actual abilities. This research aims to analyse the content validity (quantitative and qualitative), empirical validity, reliability, and standard error of measurement of semester final exam test instruments on Physics Grade XII Senior High School academic year 2017/2018 designed by teachers. The data analysis was based on 5 question documents (135 items) made by teachers and 555 answer sheets of the students at five schools. The research results show that teachers' ability in making the test instruments of the semester final exam is still limited. It is proven as a problem found through the representation of the analysis result based on the test of content validity, empirical validation, reliability and standard errors of measurement. It is suggested that school principals or the Educational Authority should hold effective training regularly and invite teachers to participate in it to sharpen their skills in making effective test instruments.
