Abstract
This action research aimed to improve the writing creativity using meme pictures. It was conducted in two cycles with three meetings each. The main subjects were 34 students of Grade XI MIPA 3 SMA N 1 Temanggung in the academic year of 2016/2017. The research data were quantitative (pre-test, Cycle I and Cycle II writing tests, and Brain Quotient test) and qualitative (the interview transcripts and field notes of the observations) in nature. Trustworthiness was achieved through triangulation. The fact that students scoring high in BQ test was also performing good in their writing performance. The improvement of the students' writing was indicated by the increase of their mean scores of writing from 62.96 in the pre-test to 79.54 in the post-test; with the Cohen's Kappa was 0,677. It was also supported by the result of Wilcoxon signed-rank-test, which was 0,000.
