Abstract


Covid-19 Pandemic has made students’ experienced unmotivated learning and undergone mental problems (Alfaningrum, p.1). This research aims to answer  (1) How to use memoir writing technique and graphic narrative to serve as a students’ catalyst to their own mental health problems during the pandemic? As Judith Barrington (1997) on Writing the Memoir: From Truth to Art suggested that memoir serve as a part of memory which is born from truth and will definitely be very closed to the truth itself. Graphic Narrative were involved to enable them to visualize what they have been through as well as serving as a part of their own reflection about themselves and how they deal with the current pandemic situation. The data analysis will be based  on data collection methods; the project record as their reflection.
