This research is motivated by the low poetry writing skills of third-grade students at MIS Tarbiyah Islamiyah Jelutung. This condition is evident from student learning outcomes that are still below the minimum completion standard and a lack of interest in expressing ideas and feelings through writing. The purpose of this study is to improve poetry writing skills by utilizing animated video media through the Powtoon website as an interesting and interactive learning tool. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which is carried out in two cycles, including the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The results show an increase in the average value of poetry writing skills from 61 in the pre-cycle (poor category), to 83 in the first cycle (good category), and increasing again to 90.3 in the second cycle (very good category). Thus, the use of Powtoon animated video media is proven to be effective in improving students' poetry writing skills.
