Abstract: Writing skills are a fundamental competency for elementary school students, as they support the development of literacy and critical thinking abilities. This study aims to examine the effect of a project-based learning model supported by video reels media on improving the narrative writing skills of fourth-grade students. The research method employed is a pre-experimental design with pre- and post-intervention assessments. The subjects of this study were 19 fourth-grade students from an elementary school in Bandung Regency. The instrument used was a narrative writing rubric, which assessed aspects such as story structure, creativity, language use, and cohesion between story sections. The data were analyzed quantitatively using both descriptive and inferential statistics, with hypothesis testing to examine differences.The results show a significant improvement across all assessed aspects, with the highest gains observed in creativity and story structure. This study implies that the use of PBL supported by video reels media is effective in enhancing students’ writing skills, particularly in creativity and story organization, and contributes to the development of more engaging and creative writing teaching methods in elementary schools.
