Action Research Report: Preparing Print Documents

My APA Paper is finally finished! Wow, those AR assignments kicked my butt! The action research report was something that I had just completed in a class last semester, so I had the format saved and ready to go!  Using the correct format is important when writing an AR paper.  It is important that you have a running header on each page, page numbers, a title page, abstract page, findings page, and references.  As for the page numbers on each page, I fought with that in my last class and never could figure out how to get pages 3, 4, and so on, to be those numbers!  Everything after page 1 on my report is page 2!

The action research report, Preparing Print Documents, consisted of  mainly summarizing the findings from the AR Spreadsheet assignment, as well as, responses to the AR questions on the Spreadsheet 3 assignment.  It allowed me to research further what the differences were in gender and classification percentages, and the average pretest and post test scores due to those percentages, if at all.  The report allowed me to use the copy and paste functions within MS Word and Excel to view charts and graphs within the AR Report.  Following the format of an APA Paper, the visual aids or charts/graphs required a specific "Figure 1, 2, 3, etc." and detailed caption below the chart or graph. 

The AR Report followed closely with the ISTE.NETS Standard 5:
