Abstract:
The population of this research are taken from eight grade students of academic years 2019-
2020 of SMP BAKTI - II MEDAN Jalan Keladi no.61 Kelurahan Tanjung Mulia Hilir
Kecamatan Medan Deli Kota Medan, which consists of three classes with 91 students. The
samples of this studies is VIII-1 and VIII-2. The research design would be conducted an
experimental and control group design. The control class was treatmented is taught by
convensional learning, the experiment class treatment is taught by genius learning strategy.
The data collections are taken by the writing test, which is given to experimental and control
group. The test in this research was to know whether the treatment giving effect or not on the
students’ ability in writing The procedures of the technique of analyzing data are: (1)
collecting the students’ score in control and experiment. Students are given an initial test in the
form of a test that is capable of writing narratives. Then after being given treatment by the
genius learning strategy, then students were again given a test to measure their narrative
writing ability. (2) Tabulating the students’ score in control and experimental group the test
results are then checked and given a value. the value is given in accordance with the
assessment instrument. Then the value obtained from the test is entered into a table for
analysis using the formula. (3) Providing the hypothesis of the research. The Finding of
research showed there was a very significant effectiveness between genius learning strategies
on the ability to write narratives by students of SMP BAKTI-II MEDAN. Evident from the
