There was no significant difference in the pre-test scores of Grade 11 learners in poetry, short story, and essay for those exposed to creative activities and traditional method. There was a significant difference in the post-test scores of Grade 11 learners in poetry, short story and essay between groups exposed to creative activities and traditional method.
