This study aims to describe the implementation of Think-Talk-Write strategy and to describe the advantages and disadvantages of using Think-Talk-Write strategy in teaching recount text writing to the 11th grade students of SMK Ma'arif NU Doro. This research uses descriptive qualitative research using observation, questionnaire, and interview instruments, with the research subjects being the students of SMK Ma'arif NU Doro, especially the students of class XI AKL. The results of this study indicate that 7 students scored very well, 13 students scored well, and 2 students scored moderately. There are several advantages of the Think-Talk-Write strategy, namely students feel helped by the existence of groups so they can convey the ideas that are in their minds.
