The subjects consisted of 30 fourth-grade SD Negeri Mekarsari 5 students who were given learning using the pjbl model assisted by Image media during seven meetings. The main instrument is a test of poetry writing skills assessed based on five aspects: diction, language style, rhyme, suitability of content and theme, and the meaning of poetry.
