Answer to Question 1

Examples of possible strategies are these:
Have students repeat the rule in their own words.
Give both examples (tape, hate) and nonexamples

Answer to Question 2

Following are examples of possible strategies:
Encourage students to work together in the early stages of a paper or other assignment but require them to submit a final product they have completed on their own.
Have students learn a topic in cooperative groups, but then quiz them individually to make sure they have all mastered the topic.
In cooperative activities, give each group member a different role to play
