The researchers designed the research problem as follows: How can RCG Strategy with PPT improve writing skill on report text for senior high school students? After applying RCG Strategy in cycle I, the students’ average score result in this cycle was 72.5%. This result was still not satisfying. 55.33% or 8 students could not reach the mean score target of 75. Therefore, the research should continue to the next cycle. In cycle II, the students’ average score was 82.33%. There were only 13.33% or 2 students who got bad scores, it meant that the criteria success had been met and this cycle should be discontinued. Based on the findings, the English teachers were recommended to use RCG for enhancing students’ writing skill by applying all the ways in this strategy, they were: Reacting to the Students’ Work, Correcting to the Students’ Work, Responding to the Students Work, Peer Review, Training Students to Self-Edit and Self-Correct and Making Homework Successful.
