This research and development resulted in the teaching of Wajo Regional Potential Themed Text Exposition Texts for Class VIII Students of SMP / MTs that have been assessed by experts and practitioners. The results showed that the content eligibility component obtained an average of 0.93 (very feasible), a presentation component of 0.91 (very feasible), a linguistic component of 0.92 (very feasible), a graphic component of 0.94 (very feasible), and component implications for developing writing skills competence 0.94 (very feasible). The results of expert and practitioner assessments of teaching materials indicate that the assessment is in a very feasible category. Thus, teaching materials are recommended to be used as teaching materials in junior high schools.]]>
