Activities of experimental groups were organized similar to the activities of control group in accordance with expert opinion. In the lessons of the control group, texts located in the Turkish textbooks are used. In the research as a data collection tool an Attitude Scale towards Tree and Environment developed by Kunt (2013); and a Scoring Scale Key for Writing Assessment developed by Uygun (2012) were used. As in the scope of research all groups wrote a composition about the environmental pollution and an Attitude Scale Towards Tree and Environment was applied as a pre-test and post-test. As the data don’t show a normal distribution, in the analysis of data it is benefited from Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests. Besides Experiment-1 group in which only the narrative texts were used in the lessons scored statistically high in the Scoring Scale Key for Writing Assessment than the other groups. There wasn’t a significant difference between the scores of experiment-2 group in which only the informative texts were used during the lessons and the control group in the Scoring Scale Key for Writing Assessment.
