1. I think I the strategy to have the more outgoing and socially confident students to go an ask the more reserved students to play. I know that I always feel more welcomed when someone asks me to do something and I feel like I am making friends that way. Also they can look to these students and learn from their examples and gain some more confidence.
2. Well depending on the type of book it can help any one of Erikson's psychosocial stages. For example if the story book talked about becoming self-sufficient, like learning to tie your show, it could help the students with Autonomy versus Shame.
3. I believe that children's literature is a great tool to help students learn moral reasoning. I know that there are many different books that could help. The book could go through a scenario of where the character made and choice and received a negative consequence, for example "The Three Little Bears". Goldie Locks did things when she did not have permission and the bears were unhappy.
4. I think the positive cognitive advantages to reading a letter from Mr. Stone is that they can discuss something that they might not ever learn in an environment where everyone can respond and help out. I know that by teaching something or by coming up with ideas for others I understand things better myself. The social aspects are great as well because they can see what their peers think and learn how to keep their friends in way that will not embarrass them. I also think the moral aspect is a good one because I don't like how they took Liam aside and had the whole class criticize them. That has the potential to back fire and make Liam feel pretty bad. This way they are inadvertently helping students understand how to make friends.
