I found an activity on collecting student information sheets and tried it in my first class. I created an activity called "Meet Me in 20 Questions." I gave each student a sheet with 20 numbered lines on it and asked a series of questions of each. I displayed the questions on the screen and answered them as I read them, sharing a little bit about myself during the process. The students handed them in and now I have a stack of papers with some interesting information. I posted my answers online as well as some aggregate data.
The next time I take roll I will spend a few seconds interacting with each student by highlighting something on their sheet. I will also try to make connections with the students later on as I cover particular topics, and I will ask them the question again about the most important event during our time period.
