The researcher employed a classroom action research design conducted over two cycles. The research focused on the students of X-MIPA. The instruments utilized for this study were a writing test, and an observation sheet. The results of each cycle revealed that in Cycle I, the technique was not successful. Therefore, the research continued to the next cycle after revising the plan based on the weaknesses identified in Cycle I. The findings of Cycle II indicated that 7 students (33%) reached the 'good' level, while 14 students (67%) achieved the 'very good' level. These results demonstrate that the implementation of the 'Gallery Walk Technique' in this study successfully enhanced students’ writing announcement text.
