Writing essays with a descriptive structure is one of the basic competencies. A descriptive essay is a true depiction of objects or events so that the reader feels what the writer feels in the story. However, the level of students' ability to write descriptive essays is still low given the lack of understanding in writing descriptions so it is difficult to find ideas to translate into written form, and the choice of vocabulary is not quite right in constructing sentences. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether there is an influence of the project-based learning model assisted by mind mapping on students' descriptive essay writing skills. The method of this research is Quasi Experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. Quasi experiment was conducted to determine the effect of a treatment on the subject under study.
