Part 1: This is a hard question because I really liked all of the strategies especially mine which was the RAFT but for this purpose I would say cubing and think dots.
Part 2: Since I am going to be teaching a second grade class I think they would really like the idea of rolling dice to pick their assignment. I think I could use it in many applications. I really like the idea of using it in the writing center. You could use it as a way to find out what topic you should write about and in what format. Or I really liked Kim's idea in class where you could have domino's in a jar and they can pick one out and the two numbers could lead to an assignment. This a fun way for students to pick their assignments and I think they will really enjoy it.
I hope you really do use the RAFT, and that you'll let me know how it goes. And, I agree... the domino thing sounds fun! 4 points
