Abstract:
This research deals with The Effect of Applying Fishbone Diagram Strategy on
the Students’ Achievement in writing Procedure Text. The objective of this
research were to find out the effect of applying Fishbone Diagram Strategy on the
Students’ Achievement in Writing Procedure Text and to find out the students
difficulties of applying Fishbone Diagram Strategy on the students achievement in
writing Procedure text. The population of this study was the eighth grade
students’ of SMP Satria Nusantara Binjai academic year 2016/2017 on Jln.
Sukarno Hatta KM 19,2 Binjai which consisted of two parallel classes namely:
