One reason for the low ability to appreciate short stories students is the lack of media that is able to connect students to be able to like short story appreciation lessons. This can cause students to feel bored to participate in learning and have an impact on the low value of Indonesian. One effort to overcome this is to use innovative learning models to develop skills in students, namely the brain based learning model. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not there is an effect of the brain based learning model on the ability to appreciate short stories in class XI students of Islamic Parlaungan Waru Sidoarjo.
