Abstract

Writing is an active way to connect and express opinions, thoughts and feelings to others. Thinking skills play an effective role in developing one’s writing and enhancing learning.

      The present study aims at investigating the effect of using stepping stones technique on intermediate school students’ performance in short story writing.

To achieve the aim of the study, it is assumed that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean score of the experimental group, which is educated by stepping stone Technique and that of the control group, which is taught by the conventional techniques in their short story writing performance.
