We started the activity at 9 o'clock. Before doing the main activity, we ask the students to play a game as a warming up activity. The game called "Head Shoulder and Toes". We asked the students to sing dan dance "head shoulder and toes" with the music. The first trial is in slow rhythm. Then, I played the music faster, and it also made the students dance faster. The students danced happily and enjoyed the activity. After doing the games, we continued to the main activity. We taught the students how to write a story. The students wrote a story based on the picture that has been provided by me and my friends. We use picture because picture can ease the students arranging the story.
