Writing poetry is a form of self-expression that requires a high level of creativity, particularly among high school students who are in the process of developing abstract and critical thinking abilities. This study aimed to explore the impact of project-based learning (PjBL) model, supported by Powtoon animation video media, on students’ creativity in writing poetry. The research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects consisted of 30 students from class X at a vocational school in Bandung, selected using purposive sampling, with limited creativity in poetry writing as a characteristic. The research instrument used was a creativity assessment rubric, which included aspects of originality, self-expression, use of poetic techniques, structure, plot, as well as thematic relevance. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and n-gain to measure creativity improvement. The results indicate that the use of Powtoon in PjBL can enhance students’ poetry writing creativity, particularly in the aspects of originality and poetic technique. The implications of this study highlight the importance of using innovative media to improve poetry writing skills and students’ creativity, as well as supporting the implementation of project-based learning methods that can accommodate the creative needs in language education.
