I try my absolute best to ask students about their hobbies, interests and passions which they are always more than excited to share. When I see the student again, it's a great talking point and usually I find a related hobby or interest of mine that is similar.

I make sure to greet every student everyday by name.  It is small but at least it lets them know that I am glad they are there.

I have students write their goals for the year and keep them. I then give them back at semester to see if the students have reached their goals. We celebrate those that reached their goals and talk about how those that were short could reach their goals.

First few days of class...small teams have to create a game - about interconnected systems. No computers, only a few info sheets. It allows them to talk and get to know each other. It gives me 2 days to meet each student on a deeper level.

Have students read & record a piece of their writing. A poem, an essay, a personal narrative, a 'this I believe', a stance on an issue. Have them choose lyricless music to put in the background. Post the mp3s online and allow students to listen to their classmates' work. Amazing how taking a work of writing off of the page and creating something different out of it creates a different sense of ownership. Plus it gives a voice to those who would normally be hesitant to speak in class.
