biggest problem occurred. The low motivation in writing also make students to have limited source
of ideas as when they are asked to write ,it take quite a long time for them to think about what the
were about to write .Therefore,the reseaercher tried to investigate the issue.She investigated the
teaching writing by using free writing at the grade students.This research explained the
implementation of free writing in teaching writing descriptive text and its responses. The
researcher used a descriptive qualitative method.The subjects of this research were the teacher
and the tenth grade students at SMK PGRI 3 Sidoarjo.In the application of this research,the
researcher observed the teaching and learning activities in the classroom.Based on the result,the
teacher could make learning and teaching activities in three stages, pre activity ( the teacher
explained about descriptive text and free writing ),whilst activity ( The teacher began to
implement free writing activity ), and post activity ( the teacher and the students corrected the
students’ works together ). Allof the students were very enthusiastic while they were writing
descriptive text. 100% students were very interested and fun with the use of free writing activity.It
