The research investigated the effects of Model teaching methods on students’ attitude and academic performance in essay writing among secondary school students in Ekiti State. It also determined whether gender and school location could influence students’ performance in essay writing. The study used quasi experimental design using pre-test, post-test one experimental group and a control group. The population for the study was 16,266 Senior Secondary School students while the sample consisted of 103 SS2 students from two schools which were selected through multi stage sampling technique from the one Senatorial District of Ekiti state. Two instruments were used to pilot the study performance test which was used to determine the proficiency level of the students in essay writing before and after treatment and a questionnaire on students’ attitude to essay writing before and after treatment. Face and content validity of the instruments were ensured. The reliability of the questionnaire on the attitude of students towards essay writing was estimated using Cronbach-Alpha reliability method with a reliability coefficient of 0.80. The reliability coefficient of the Essay writing performance test was estimated using test-re-test reliability method. Pearson product moment correlation statistics was used to obtain a reliability coefficient of 0.92. Three research questions and four null hypotheses were postulated to pilot the study. The study showed that the performance of students in essay writing before treatment was below average level. The result revealed that there was a significant difference in the performance of means scores of students in essay writing in experimental group than those in the control group.
