ABSTRACT
The lack of students' writing skills and limited learning facilities and media further worsen the writing quality of students in elementary school (SD). Explanatory text is text that informs the process of something occurring, whether natural or social phenomena. At the stage of understanding and writing the text, students find it difficult due to the lack of information and knowledge possessed by the students and the teacher as facilitator. Model problem based learning is a learning model that uses real problems in its learning so that it can train students to develop problem-solving skills. This model can trigger students' thinking methods in presenting information in an explanatory text that is in accordance with the structure of the explanatory text. Based on the analysis of the advantages of diorama media, it can be concluded that students' ability to write explanatory texts increases in accordance with the concept of diorama media, which is a mini three-dimensional view that aims to depict the actual scene. This is because in this model students are required to work together in groups regarding dioramas that have been observed, so that students have a lot of material and information to write explanatory texts so that learning becomes different and fun.
