At the end of this cycle, the researcher and the collaborator analyzed and calculated all the processes like student’s post-test II grade and observation of student’s learning activities. The comparison between students post test I grade and post-test II grade could be compared on the following table.

Then, the graph of students writingessay post-test I and post-test II grade in cycle II could be seen as follow:
Figure 10.
The Percentage of Comparison of Students’ Grade on Pos-test I and Post-test II
From the figure above, it could be seen that the grade of the students in post-test I was various. It could be inferred that 8 students (27%) were successful and 22 other students (73%) were not successful.
From the post test II results, the researcher got the percentage of 73%. It was higher than post test 1 in cycle I. It means that the indicator of success of this research had been achieved that was >70% students gotgrade 65. It indicated that the students’ writing essay was increased.

Regarding to the result above, it could be inferred that this Classroom Action Research (CAR). It was successful and it would not be continue in the next cycle because of the learning process and the product of learning entirely passed the indicators of success. It means that six thinking hats strategy increasethe students’ writing essay.
