<![CDATA[The objective of this research was to find out the effect of using picture strip story with guided questions on students’ writing achievement at SMAN 4 Baubau. This research applied quasi experimental design that consist of experimental class and control class. The sample of this research were students at class X IPS 1 and X IPS 2 in SMAN 4 Baubau who were register in academic years 2019/2020. The sample taken by using cluster random sampling and the total numbers of students are 44, 22 for experimental class (X IPS 1) and 22 for control class (X IPS 2).

While students’ mean score of post-test in control class is 54.91. It is only raised 11.32  point from its pre-test (43.59). Besides, the value of degree of freedom (df)= 86, t=4.034, and sig (2 tailed)=0.000. It means that the probability (sig) value is lower than α ( p value < α or 0.000 < 0.05). Therefore,picture strip story with guided questions had a significant effect on students’ writing achievement at SMAN 4 Baubau]]>
