The objective of this research was to find out the significant effect of using sequence picture technique on students’ achievement in writing. This research was conducted at SMA CITRA HARAPAN of academic year 2017/2018 Jalan Medan Percut Km. 19.5 Kec. Percut Sei Tuan Kab. Deli Serdang. The population of this study was the eleventh grade students, that consisted of four classes; they were XI-1, XI-2, XI-3, XI-4. Cluster random sampling technique was applied to determine the samples.

This data were acquired by administrating an written test which was given in pre-test and post-test. After analyzing the data by using t test formula, it was obtained that t-test was higher than t-table (4.92 >2.00) with (α = 0.05). and the degree of freedom (df) 58. The finding showed that the students achievement in writing by using sequence picture technique was more significant than those without using sequence picture technique. Based on this research, it was revealed that the percentage of the effect of using sequence picture techniquewas 64.20 % and 35.8% was influenced by other factors
