Critical writing needs to be taught to junior high school students to develop analytical skills, evaluate, and relate meaningful learning experiences. Assessment as Learning (AaL) is an assessment that students can do to reflect on the development of their knowledge independently. Aal can be used as a variation of assessment in teaching materials. Critical writing and AaL can be combined in the form of teaching materials. This study will explain how AAL and critical writing are part of the development of exposition text teaching materials for class VIII. This presentation was developed with a research development scheme by adapting the 4D development research model. Furthermore, from the research, the final result was that the application of AAL in the development of teaching materials could have a positive effect on students with a practice test score of 90% and product user trials with a score of 87%.
