This study used a quantitative method with a two group posttest design. The population of this study was all grade XI students at SMA Negeri 7 Medan.

Meanwhile, the average score of the class using the Learning Cycle 5E model was 89.65, categorized as very good, with 33 students (92%) in the very good category and 3 students (8%) in the good category. The results of the hypothesis test showed that tcount > ttable, namely 12.04 > 1.667, so that Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected. Thus, the Learning Cycle 5E learning model has a significant effect on the poetry writing ability of grade XI students at SMA Negeri 7 Medan.
