The instrument of this study was a test that used pre-test and post-test.The mean score of the pre-test in content 71,1 was lower than post-test 80,6. From the t-test, the study found that the value of t-test in generic structure pre-test 20,62 was fair than t-table 1.538, and the value of t-test in generic structure post-test 38,71 was greater than t-table 1.538. There was a difference between the students’ writing before and after applying the clustering technique in the class.
