This medium is a scholarly article which the purpose is to provide information. This genre usual is used for information and can cover multiple subjects ranging from news articles to articles about sports games. The writers for this medium includes the writer, publisher, all the others involved in creating this article, and where ever this article was published. The reader of this genre is whoever reads the article.
The content in this genre usually contains facts and figures that support the authors point of view and little to nothing that does not support it. Through the facts and figures of an article, the medium appeals to logos. The peer-reviewed title of the article appeals to ethos because it points out it is fact checked and contains accurate information. These texts are organised into paragraphs and tend to start with an introduction and end with a conclusion. Articles can range in length but tend to only a couple pages at the maximum. This genre is also usually pretty formal so it stays away from slang and jargon.
This article invites people who want to learn about a subject and receive the facts of a subject. This medium encourages readers to understand the authors point of view and hopefully agree with them. I believe in this genre, the facts are the most important because it proves a point quickly and lets you come to you own conclusions with some help.

This article talks about how students do better work when it is on something they enjoy. The author talks about how a group of students did a report on Dragon Ball Z and you could see how much effort was put into the project. A very important part of this article is that schools do not try and accommodate to our multimodal ways of learning. If the schools did and started to incorporate things that students enjoy, our work and effort would be exponentially better.
