I. Introduction (Context and Rationale)

English have four language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Based on the concept and function, it was aimed to develop those four skills and also the
language components: vocabulary, structure, and pronunciation (in speech) or spellings
which support students mastering well. Such as in teaching writing, it was very complicated
when the teacher did not prepared any technique or method (procedure/a good ways) in
teaching process. Students might be bored if the teacher only did the routine activity on
learning writing that only focused on grammar and structure without any variation.
Considering that English is a foreign language in Philippines, an appropriate and
effective approached is needed to make learning English successful and joyful. However,
some teachers made the class became boredom. Here the researcher focused the research
on writing because it was one of four language skills that played a very important role in
learning.
To motivate and support the students in developed their writing skill, teachers
needed responsibility and creativity. Actually, there are some techniques that could be used
not only to gain students’ interest but also increase their writing ability without forgetting
its components. Example non example can be used to practice the students in writing class.
By using example non example, the teacher can deliver the purpose of the lesson to the
 students easily. Example non example should be supported by pictures or real object as
media, so that it could be interest the students.
