Abstract

The purpose of this study was to show the application of picture media to students' writing abilities. The problem faced by students at MTs Al Hikmah Seputih Raman is their low writing abilities, one of which is descriptive text. This research was conducted to discuss the influence of picture media on the ability to write descriptive paragraphs. The subject of this research is eighth grade students. This research is categorised as classroom action research. This research consists of two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The techniques used in data collection were tests, observation, documentation, and field notes. The results of the study showed that from two cycles, the average score in students' descriptive text writing ability was 41.75 in the pre-test, 61.42 in post-test 1, and 72.16 in post-test 2. The same thing happened to student activities. Student activity in cycle 1 explained that there were 10 active students (80%) and 2 inactive students (20%). In the second cycle, student activity consisted of 12 active students (100%). These results illustrate that picture media can improve students' ability to write descriptive paragraphs.
