Abstract

The Snowball Throwing Games method has proven effective in enhancing students' descriptive writing skills. Beyond measurable improvements in academic performance, this interactive and collaborative approach increased student motivation and fostered a more engaging classroom atmosphere. The method encouraged active participation, creativity, and self-expression, helping students build confidence and develop their writing abilities. Moreover, the method significantly improved students’ social interaction and teamwork, which positively influenced their ability to collaborate during writing tasks. Particularly in writing classes often perceived as challenging, the dynamic and supportive environment reduced student anxiety and minimized the fear of making mistakes. Each phase of implementation was strategically designed to facilitate classroom communication and highlight various aspects of the Snowball Throwing Games technique. These included student engagement, behavioral change, the development of critical thinking skills, and the integration of digital tools to support learning goals. The findings indicate that this method is both practical and effective in improving writing proficiency while fostering a positive and collaborative learning environment.

Abstract

In this study, students in the seventh (VII) grade of Perguruan Dharma Bakti Lubuk Pakam were examined in relation to their success in creating recount texts using the guided questioning technique. Thus, students in the seventh (VII) grade made up the research population. Two classes of 24 students each, for a total of 48 pupils, were used by the writers for their research. Purposive sampling was selected as the sampling technique from two courses, each of which included 24 pupils. In this quasi-experimental study, the pre-test and post-test written assessments were used to collect data, and both groups received a distinct course of therapy. Before the post-test, the experimental group employed the guided questions methodology and the control group the traditional approach. Because the significance was less than alpha p (a), the hypothesis was accepted when it showed sig. 2-tailed (p) 0,000 (a) 0,005. The control group's score went risen from 51,46 to 63,67. From 55,46 to 70,00, the experimental group's score climbed. The variances between the experimental group's mean score (M = 70,00; SD = 16,251; t(23) = 7,174) and the control group's mean score (M = 63,67; SD = 18,087). The study's findings thus showed that the Guided Questions Technique had a bearing on students' success in making recount texts.
