ABSTRACT
The aim of this research was to find out whether there was any significant
effect of using bio-poem strategy on students‟ ability in writing descriptive
paragraph at Mts Darul Falah Salo Kampar Regency. This research was
Experimental Research. The design was quasi-experimental research. The
writer formulated the problems that would be answered by using the
quantitative research. The subject of the research was the second year
students of MTs Darul Falah Salo Kampar Regency academic year
2016/2017. The object of this research was bio poem strategy and their
writing ability on descriptive paragraph. The writer took two classes:
experimental and control. Experiment class was with 17 students, and
control class was with also 17 students. To analyze the data, the writer

adopted independent sample T-test formula by using SPSS 20 version. After
analyzing the data, the writer found that the students‟ writing ability was
taught by using bio-poem strategy at MTs Darul Falah Salo was categorized
into good level. The students‟ writing ability was taught without using biopoem strategy at MTs Darul Falah Salo was categorized into less level.
Writer found that Ha: sig. (2 tailed) 0.05, Ho is Accepted
