When I was a classroom teacher who taught ELA, I loved choice boards for homework. It gave students choice and they were more apt to do the work. I also used it as math teacher during longer breaks with extra credit opportunities which kept students engaged over break. For these I did Bingo choice boards and would add in a few fun things like playing outside for 20 minutes or enjoying dinner with family. Families loved it as well.

I think a big pro for menu boards is that you can easily differentiate content for all learners. Students all have an entry point that allows them to feel successful even if some of the options are off grade level. Menu boards are perfectly set up for remediation to enrichment. I also think choice = engagement.
