In this step, students are directed to, based on their work in the noticing
phase, compare features of their own cultures and those of the target cultures, in

line with the topic sentence that is given. To be able to do this, students are given
clues in the form of individual sentences in order to make comparative sentences.

The following is an example.

There are differences 1. A Malay wedding has two …………………………
between wedding processes: the akad nikah and ….……………………..
processes in Malay and bersanding.
Lombok. 2. A Lombok wedding has four …………………………
processes: kidnaping, nuntut wali,
akad nikah, and nyelabar. …………………………
3. While a Lombok wedding..., a
Malay wedding…

Based on this input, students are expected to write a sentence that compare
between wedding processes in Malay and Lombok. An example of the sentence

can be: While a Lombok wedding has four processes: kidnaping, nuntut wali,
akad nikah, and nyelabar, a Malay wedding process has two: the akad nikah and

bersanding. This sentence will be later used as a supporting detail to a topic

sentence of a paragraph. Just like the case in the noticing phase, students are given
optional help in the form of a list of word that can be used in the sentences.

In this phase, other techniques can be used for students to achieve the
objective. One of such as technique is the jumbled task in which students

rearrange the order sentences based on the topic sentences given. The class format
is preferably in groups because students will be able to cooperate by sharing their

knowledge and skills in constructing sentences. The product of this phase is a

number of sentences that are later used as supporting details in paragraphs. The
sentences must, of course, relate to each other.

Noticing A Malay wedding has two processes: the akad nikah and bersanding.

While a Lombok wedding has six processes: kidnaping, nuntut wali, akad
nikah, nyelabar, nyongkolan, and bebales nae. A Malay wedding process
Comparing has two: the akad nikah and bersanding.
Kidnaping should be done by Terune Sasak.
The nuntut wali sometimes becomes a crucial issue in wedding process in
Sasak community.
