The experimental group was exposed to model paragraphs (expository genre), and the control group was taught writing using the conventional way without the exposure to model paragraphs. This study has three fundamental objectives. First, it intends to discover what explanatory factors can contribute to the students’ writing improvement in the two groups. Second, it investigates what differential effect on writing performance will the two groups reveal. Finally, it attempts to find out to the extent to which schema theory can be effective when applied to the teaching of writing. The theoretical frameworks employed in this study were (1) previous studies of reading-writing connection, and (2) schema theory. The two groups will be compared and their overall writing proficiency was evaluated using the ESL Composition Profile proposed by Jacobs, et al. (1981). Two techniques of analysis were used to compare the students' writing performance: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results from descriptive statistics revealed that the two groups exhibited writing improvement in terms of content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics from the pre-test to the post test. The inferential statistics showed that the experimental group was significantly different from the control group. The experimental group outperformed the control group in terms of content, organization, vocabulary, and mechanics. The control group, however, surpassed the experimental group in terms of language use. As for the schema theory, the present study revealed that it is effective in improving certain writing aspects. Based on this result, this study suggests that the teachers of writing provide good model paragraphs for the students, and that reading be incorporated into the writing syllabus design.
