This study aimed to optimize students' review text writing skills through the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on short films in Class VII-D of SMP Muhammadiyah 11 Surabaya. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of three cycles: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 28 seventh-grade students. Data were collected through observation, writing assessment, and documentation and were analyzed descriptively. The findings indicated that the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on short films improved students' review text writing skills. Classical learning mastery increased from 10.71% in the preliminary condition to 21.43% in Cycle I, 57.14% in Cycle II, and 100% in Cycle III. The average scores also improved from the preliminary condition to each cycle. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) based on short films can optimize students' review text writing skills by providing active, collaborative, and meaningful learning experiences.
