		abstract={The  purpose  of  this  research  was  to  find  out  whether  or  not  teaching 
writing skill by using picture series more effective than that of using powerpoint 
at  second  grade  students  of  SMPN  12  Tanjungpinang  in  the  academic  year  of 
2018/2019 in writing recount. This research design was quasi experimental. There 
were two classes which were used as the subjects of the study. The first class was 
VIII  A as the experimental class when they were taught by  using picture series 
and the second one was VIII B as the control class which were taught by using 
powerpoint. The data of this research were taken from the pre-test and post-test 
scores of the experimental and control classes. In analyzing the data, researched 
used  Mann-Whitney  Test  through  Minitab17  for  windows.  The  Mann-Whitney 
used  because  the  data  were  not  normal distribution and  not  homogeneous.  This 
proved  by  the  result  of  the  normality  test  by  using  Kolmogorov  Smirnov  test 
showed that the P Value was 0.010<0,05 in both classes. It meant that the data 
were normally distributed. Next, this proved by the result of the homogeneity test 
by  using  Leven?s  test  showed  that  the  P  Value  0.000<0,05.  It  meant  that  the 
variance were not homogenous. The  result of Mann-Whitney  showed  that  the P 
Value 0,0000<0,05. Based on the result, it was concluded that using picture series 
is  effectiveness  in  teaching  writing  skill  at  second  grade  students  of  SMPN  12
