Abstract

The purpose of this research is to produce a writing pattern in terms of the number of supporting elements: identification of the average number of words in a lema ‘entry’; the number of characters in a word, the number of lines in a paragraph, and the number of sentences in a paragraph. The method used is quantitative by calculating the average of various supporting elements of writing: words, entries, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and lines. Data were collected from the writings of SMAN 1 Ngawi students. Referring to the average calculation, the results of this study indicate that one entry can be translated into 5–17 words; one word consists of 5–7 characters; one paragraph consists of 3–13 lines; One paragraph consists of 1–8 sentences. This shows that the writing patterns of SMAN 1 Ngawi students vary greatly in terms of the number of supporting elements. There is no single paragraph that consists of only one line. However, there is one paragraph that only consists of one sentence. This needs to be considered by the teacher. In addition, the average character in one word shows that students need to be more familiar with words with more characters (above 7 characters) because high school students should already use a lot of words that are longer or more complex.
