=Purpose:= The article main purpose was to learn if writing to learn activities and audience effected the students understanding and construction of knowledge. This means that the students would practice writing to learn activities with different audience besides the teacher. For example students good write a letter to a peer or the major. =Results:= The results from this study showed that the 9th and 10th graders benefited the most from writing to a younger audience. =Thoughts:= The article was well put together and it makes sense that writing to a younger audience would help students because they have to simplify things to explain to the younger students.
