**Rationale 1:**
My action research paper studied the amount of assignments submitted traditional methods versus online methods. When conducting the research the students has a time period that assignments could only be submitted using traditional methods and then a period of only online methods. As part of the action research paper there is a part that requires the teacher who conducted the action research to reflect upon the process. After conducting my research in my classroom I took some time to reflect upon what I had my students complete. I also reflected on the process of the research and if it was the best method and if there were any issues that was overlooked when first setting up the research. After I conducted the research, I learned that there were things that I overlooked and did not work best for my students. I learned that I should modify what I did to benefit the students. Without reflecting upon this process, I would not have been able to come to this conclusion and my students would not be better off.

**KSD:**
9.K.2 The teacher understands critical frameworks for reflecting on teaching practice (e.g. frameworks for social, cultural, and philosophical foundations of education). While reflecting on my research, I came to the conclusion that instead of just having one form of assignment submission, I could use both forms of assignment submission because of the fact that some students preferred each of the two methods for different reasons. 9.S.3 The teacher seeks out professional literature, and other resources to support his/her own development as a learner and a teacher. While conducting this action research, I looked at secondary research that was on my topic. I was not able to find the exact topic, but I was able to find similar topics that were researched and I was able to learn from their findings. 9.D.2 The teacher is committed to reflection, assessment, and learning as an ongoing process. Since I have concluded my action research, I have implemented different strategies into my classroom. To ensure that these new strategies are best for my students I will continue to evaluate them.
