Students of VII-H class as the experimental class, whereas students of VII-I as the control class. The analysis has shown that the data was normally distributed. The result of ANCOVA showed thatthe significant value was p (0.000) < α (0.05). It means that there was enoughevidence to reject the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis.The researcher can be found that this technique can help students in prewriting to prepare vocabulary, generate ideas and expand the ideas they have obtained.
