My activity is for second graders. I have been around Pre School and the lower grades in elementary school for almost 3 years now. This is the age group I am most familiar with. Since we are currently in the Fall season, that is which I will use. At this age group they have a general understanding of holidays thus as a teacher it is our job to broaden their approach to these seasons and holidays.

Positive Transfer of Learning: create a lesson about Thanksgiving. Show the students that thanksgiving always comes around during the Fall season.

Near Transfer of Learning: The students can identify the fall season by the leaves falling and changing colors. Demonstrate this and allow them to have a hands on activity with the leaves and other fall objects such as acorns.

Negative Transfer of Learning: create a lesson that allows students that in other areas of the world this may not be true. For example in Australia they do not celebrate thanksgiving and their seasons are opposite of ours.

Far Transfer of Learning: Create a lesson that allows the students to read other information on different countries about thanksgiving and seasons.
