I like the idea of a writing assignment. It could be diary style entry explaining the incident exactly as it happened, his thought process and how he arrived at the conclusion that violence was the way to handle it.
Maybe ask for three alternatives he could have chosen that would have been better decisions. That would help him reason through other ways to deal with the situation and that lesson may stick with him the next time some punk-asshole confronts him.
And I think it is important that the suspension day be a day without reward (ie: computer, video games, phone calls to friends, etc.) He should still do his school work/reading/assignments.
