Sari
Background: Students usually get difficulty in how to start writing sentences if the teacher
does not give the list of verbs they should use in their sentences. Their sentences do not have
correct punctuation: they use commas and full stop without any good reason or there is no
punctuation where there should be some. Their writing ideas have not been presented in an
order that easily makes sense to the reader. The word selection is not appropriate with the
context. The purposes of the study are: (1) to reveal whether PWIM is more effective than
Guided Writing in teaching writing for the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Delanggu;
(2) to reveal whether the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Delanggu who have high
creativity have better writing skill than those having low creativity; (3) to reveal whether
there i s an interaction between teaching methods and students’ creativity to teach writing
for the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Delanggu.
