Interpretation
 Based on the significance 5% and degree of
freedom 58 (Df), was derived t-table =2.00172
with t calculate = 7.23. From the data, it shows that
t calculate > from t table (7.23 > 2.00172). So, the
Ho (null hypothesis) was rejected and Ha
(alternative hypothesis) was accepted
 It means that there is significant influence of using
individual picture to the students’ writing
achievement of the eight students at SMPN 1 Waru
