In the pre- test, the researcher found that their recount text writing was not good enough. They made grammatical and organization mistakes, wrote incorrect spelling, and had limited vocabulary to express their ideas.

The students‟ improvement in this research was showed by the results of tests, observasion sheet, and questionnaire The students‟ average score in the pre-test was 64.40, in cycle 1 test was 75.63, and in post-test was 82.37. Each aspect organization, content, grammar, punctuation, and style and quality of expression of students‟ writing skill improved, too. The result of the observation sheet showed that after teaching and learning by using PWIM strategy, the students became more attentive, active, happier, and attracted in joining the classroom.
