Penerapan Metode Guided Writing dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Siswa SMAN 10 Bone

Abstract

This study aims to improve the poetry writing skills of tenth-grade students at SMAN 10 Bone through the implementation of the Guided Writing method. The background of this research is based on the students’ low ability in writing poetry, which is caused by limited vocabulary, lack of inspiration, and monotonous teaching methods. This study employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, poetry writing tests, interviews, and documentation. The results show a significant improvement in students’ poetry writing skills after the Guided Writing method was applied. In the pre-cycle stage, only 16% of students achieved the minimum learning mastery, whereas by the end of the second cycle, the mastery percentage increased to over 80%. The Guided Writing method proved effective in helping students understand the structure and elements of poetry, as well as in enhancing their creativity and confidence in writing. Therefore, this method is effective for teaching poetry writing at the senior high school level.
