The gap of this research was the use of power point video in the learning process, some previous research only used power point in their study. This study is aimed at explaining whether power point video with project-based learning to teach recount text writing is effective to improve the students’ achievement. Based on previous research which used power point to teach speaking and reading, the researcher tries to use power point as media as media to teach writing. The method used in this research was quasi-experimental and the design was quantitative. The population of this study was eighth-grade students of SMP N 2 Patebon, Kendal. In this research, the researcher used two classes; 8-D as the experimental and 8-F as the control group. The experimental class was taught using power point video with project-based learning to teach recount text writing and the control class was not. In collecting the data, the researcher conducted a writing test which was divided into pre-test and post-test. The data collected were analyzed using a t-test. According to the result of statistical calculation, it could be seen that the average score of the experimental class was 78.04 and the average score of control class was 70.52. Furthermore, it was obtained that t_count is higher than t_table (3.88 > 1.68). So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. It can be concluded that using power point video with project-based learning to teach recount text writing is significantly effective. This result can help a teacher to provide a better technique in teaching recount text and help students to increase their learning interest, and also to improve their achievement.
