The first thing that jumped out at me in Chapter 1 of Fires in the Bathroom was the idea of doing a student questionnaire to get to know the students better. I think that this is the best method for getting to know the students in a timely manner. The journal option is a good one but is drawn out throughout the semester that you have the student.
The questionnaire is a structured response that has less to do with feelings and more to do with facts. The most effective way to get to know a student is to pay attention to them and using the questionnaire is a good "ice breaker," while the journal helps with dealing with current issues in a student's life. I feel that a combination of both would be the best way to know a student and their tendencies and attitudes towards learning. I also like the part of being honest with the students about the teacher's life. Knowing somethings about teachers in high school helped me relate more to them and feel comfortable in talking with them.
