The total sample was 60 students where 30 students were for experimental group and 30 students were as the control group. In this research, the writer used Quasi- experimental design: two-groups, pre-test and post-test design. Pre-test was used to know the basic students’ ability. Meanwhile, post-test was used to know the students’ writing ability after giving treatment (taught using Paper Puppet media).
From the data analysis, the writer obtained the mean score of pre-test, and post-test of experimental group (the students was taught paper puppet) and control group (the students was taught without using paper puppet). The result were:1) The mean score of pre-test for control group was 67.16, and the mean score of post-test for control group was 73.66; 2) the result score of pre-test for experimental group was 67.42, and the mean score of post-test for experimental group was 83.5. The enhancement of experimental group was higher than control group. It was 16.08 (83.5-67.42). The enhancement of the mean score of control group was only 4.5 (73.66-69.16); 3) There was significance difference between students’ writing ability taught without and taught by using paper puppet. It was proved based on t-test. The result of t-test was 8.812, while the value of t-table was 1.671. It means that the value of t-test is higher than t-table (8.812 >1.761).
