Meeting the Class for the First Time

When I meet the class for the first time I am nervous as well as they; therefore, I introduce myself and tell about by work experiences then we play a game where the classmates try to find people who like these certain items. The one who finds the most in 15 minutes wins two movie tickets. This gets the class to move around and get to know one another. Then they introduce themselves and tell about their life experiences if they choose. After this we take a break then I pass out the class syllabus and go over the rules very carefully. I especially emphasize the importance of attendance and how attendance play a big role in the grades they can obtain in the class. I call the role and try to learn their names quickly. Before class is over I try to teach them one new piece of information to wet their whistle to want to come back and learn more.
