The sample of this research was taken by using random sampling technique, 25 from VII-1 and 25 VII-2 as experimental class and 25 from VII-3 as controlled class. To obtain the data the researcher used writing test, as the instrument for collecting the data. These test consisted of two types, namely pre-test and post-test. As the result of the ANOVA test, P= 0.000 < 0.05 or F count = 23.40 > F table = 2.28 significant affect. It means that hypothesis alternative (Ha) was accepted while the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected.
