In this study, the writer will use video as a media to teach writing procedure text. The video that will be used is available in our daily activities such as food and household equipment. Since that video is familiar with the students, hopefully the teaching writing of procedure text will be more effective and enjoyable. It involves seeing and hearing in which the students will not get bored and easy to learn. The video here is about cooking. There will be someone who is cooking a food and he will say and do all of the steps. While the video is running, the students are allowed to write the important parts they need in producing their text. The music instrument also will help the students more enjoyable during the teaching and learning process. It is hoped that the students‟ result will be better after using that media in producing a procedure text.
