This study aims to assess the level of writing skills of students from the controlled and experimental groups. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study was conducted on 50 Grade 12 students from the ABM and HUMSS strands. In calculating the details, the researcher used a statistical method to obtain the weighted average mean and t-test measure to compare the results of the conducted preliminary and final tests, as well as the analysis of data in each category of writing. From the collected data, it was laid out in the study that after the intervention was carried out, the level of students' writing skills significantly increased.
