Abstract – In today's global culture, writing—once thought to be the domain of the educated—has evolved into a critical ability for people from all walks of life. One of the most challenging language production tasks is writing, and both professional and amateur writers routinely lament the process' complexity and difficulty. Students need to be able to think critically to generate an idea.

There were 80 pupils in the sample, 40 from MAN 1 Kabupaten Tangerang's experiment class and 40 from MAN 2 Tangerang's control class. The sampling method that was employed. The findings of the validity and reliability tests of the writing ability and critical thinking (30 items) were tested using research instruments.
