This study is an attempt to discover the effect of applying Guided Writing Strategy on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. It was conducted by using experimental research design. The Population of this research was the eighth (VIII) grade students of SMP Tri Sakti Lubuk Pakam which has three parallel classes. The samples of this research were taken by through lottery. They were class VIII 3 became the experimental group and class VIII 2 became the control group. The experimental group was taught by using Guided Writing Strategy while the control group without treatment. The instrument for collecting the data was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result shows that the value of t­-observed is higher than the value of t-table. (5.56 > 1.67 (α = 0.05)) with the degree of freedom (df) = 70. It means that there is a significant effect of applying Guided Writing Strategy on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

This research aims at investigating the effect of rich media guided writing strategy on the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. It was conducted by using experimental research design. The Population of this research was the tenth (X) grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Dolok Merawan. There were two classes as the sample. The first class (X MIA 1), the experimental group consisted of 20 students, and the second class (X IS 1), the control group consisted of 20 students. The experimental group was taught by using rich media-guided writing strategy while control group was taught by using pen and paper-guided writing strategy. The instrument for collecting the data was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The analysis showed that the score of students in the experimental group by using rich media guided writing strategy was higher than the score of students in the control group by using pen and paper guided writing strategy, at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 38, the t-observed was 2,818 while the t-table was 2,024. Therefore, the application of rich media guided writing strategy significantly affected the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. Keywords: Rich Media-Guided Writing Strategy, Writing Descriptive Text.
