I have to employ several techniques. I make a basic seating chart, and as the students stand up to answer introductory question such as "What I am known for" I will note down their name, a physical characteristic and a point of what they shared. I will also have them put up a name tent using a 5X7 card. The students will pick up and return the card daily. I use these cards to take attendance, divide students into new groups daily,and put personal notes to the students.
