sharing strategy assisted by picture story on students‟ achievement in writing. The
method used in this study was an experimental research. This research had been
conducted at SMP IMELDA Jalan Bilal Pulo Brayan Darat Kecamatan Medan

students. Each class was given a pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The control
class was taught by using lecture method meanwhile the experimental class was
treated by using Active Knowledge Sharing Strategy Assisted by Picture Story.
The instrument of this research was written. The data were analyzed by using ttest
formula.
Then, the
result
showed that
tobserve
(2.03)
was
higher
than
ttable
(1.67)
with
the
degree
of
freedom
(df=58)
for
two-tailed
test
(2.03
1.67). It meant that
the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was
accepted. In conclusion, there was the significant effect on the students‟
achievement in writing by using Active Knowledge Sharing strategy assisted by
Picture Story was more significant than using lecture method
