Answer to Question 1

Encountering high-quality examples in context most nearly approximates the construction of knowledge in natural settings in the real world. The examples become the experiences learners use to construct their knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

Guidelines for promoting transfer include the following: (1) Provide students with a variety of high-quality examples and other experiences, such as having students practice with a variety of word problems to promote problem solving, and constructing different concept maps to promote the transfer of study skills. (2) Apply content to real-world contexts whenever possible, such as having students solve percent increase and percent decrease problems with items they find in a local mall.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
