		abstract={The purpose of this research was to increase students' achievement in
writing descriptive text by implementing the Four-Square Writing Technique
(FSWT) to the 6th grade students at SDN Petemon X/358 Surabaya in the academic
year 2020/2021. Each cycle of classroom action research consisted of three
meetings and included four steps: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The
data were gathered through the use of two instruments: observation and test. The
results indicated that students made great progress in their ability to write
descriptive texts. Pre-test mean score was only 62.42, but improved to 71.10 in
cycle I and 77.30 in cycle II. The pre-test score was only 74 and improved to 82 to
88 in subsequent cycles. Meanwhile, the lowest pre-test score was 50, and the
highest post-test score ranged from 62 to 68. In case of the students who passed the
tests, while only five students (16.67%) passed the pre-test, there were significant
improvements in post-tests, with 18 students (60%) passing in post-test cycle I and
27 students (90%) passing in post-test cycle II. This research was stopped in cycle
II due to the fact that the criteria for success were met in a percentage of 90%, with
27 students passing the post-test in cycle II, based on the Minimum Mastery Criteria
(KKM) standard of > 70.}
