The research was conducted over six sessions, comprising a pre-test, instructional treatment, and a post-test. Data were collected through writing assessments administered before and after the intervention and analyzed using paired sample t-tests. The results indicated an increase in the average score from 60.12 in the pre-test to 68.00 in the post-test. Statistical analysis showed that the calculated t-value (3.44) exceeded the critical t-value (2.36) at a 0.05 significance level with 20 degrees of freedom. These findings suggest that using picture series significantly enhances students’ performance in procedural writing, highlighting its effectiveness as a teaching strategy.
