The aim of this research is to search the effect of the cluster method on the creative writing skill of 6th grade students. In this paper, the students of 6-A, studying at Ulas Primary School in 2010-2011 academic year, were divided into two groups as experiment and control. Taking into consideration the various variants, pre-test and last-test were applied at the beginning and at the final process. These tests were compared according to the number of the words in written texts, actual and figurative usage of words, the usage of proverb-idiom, slip in spelling and the relation with the context. At the end of the search, the group which used the cluster method in creative writing studies was more successful than control group on academic success in writing skill.
