Community Service at RPTRA KALIDERES

As a lecturer, we have three responsibility that we have to do every semester. The responsibility called "Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi". One of the responsibility is doing the community service (pengabdian masyarakat). This semester, I have done the community service at RPTRA Kalideres with my friend and my students. the theme of our community service was "Teaching Writing By Using Pictures For Junior High School Students (Smp) At Forum Anak Rptra Kalideres, Jakarta Barat" We taught junior high school students that live around the RPTRA Kalideres. 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. The students seemed to be enjoying every activity that we have made. The students also made a good composition. The students told that picture made them easy to do the exercise. From this activity, we can know that picture can be alternative technique to teach writing. The activity was closed with taking a picture with the students
