Have each student complete a "student profile" so you can learn about them as individuals. A profile should include not only information for record keeping and communication purposes but also their likes and dislikes, hobbies, employment experience, why they took your class, what they expect to learn, what grade they expect to earn, where they have traveled, etc. Use the information during the year to relate the material to your students. Filling out one for the class about yourself is a great way for them to get to know you. This is a great icebreaker.
