  This classroom action research focuses on the use of mind mapping strategy to improve students’ ability in writing procedure text. This research was conducted at MA Darul Qurro Kawunganten with 21 students of class XI as the subject of the research. It was done for two weeks (17 November – 28 November 2014). The writer used classroom action research (CAR) as the method of the research. The writer did this research collaboratively with the English Teacher. The CAR was done based on the Kemmis and Mc. Taggart’s design. The writer took two cycles with two actions in each cycle. The data were collected through observation, writing test (pre-test and post-test), and questionnaire. The writer used descriptive comparative technique and critical analysis technique to analyze the qualitative and the quantitative data. The qualitative data were analyzed based on the observation of students’ activities in the class and questionnaire, while the quantitative data were analyzed by using writing test (pre-test and post-test). The data analysis showed that mind mapping strategy could improve the students’ writing ability. The average of students’ writing ability between pre-test and post- test showed improvement from 60.04 to 77.62, the improvement was 17.58 %, and there were also 19 students or 90.47 % of students could reach score

  ≥ 7.0 (KKM). It was also supported by the observation and questionnaire result. The data of observation showed that the average of the percentage of the students’ writing activities between cycle one and cycle two was 40.46 % to 61.89 %, then the improvement was 21.43 %. The data from the questionnaire which consisted of 15 questions showed that more than 66% students gave positive response to the implementation of the mind mapping strategy in writing class. In conclusion, the research had been called a success, because the result of this research could be achieved in cycle two.
