<p>I have to admit that I have difficulty remembering the names of my students especially when teaching 4 classes in a semester which can total up to 80+ students.&nbsp; One icebreaker that I use is having students write their names on a manila file folder and then think of adjectives with each letter of their name to describe themselves.&nbsp; When students introduce themselves using the adjectives you connect with them and remember something unique about them.&nbsp; I usually take notes as they discuss things about themselves.&nbsp; This helps me to remember their names.&nbsp; It becomes more personal.</p>
