Tranfer this article to your Title I class although the audience is more for adult classes and online courses. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that interspersing videotaped lessons with quizzes improved students' ability to stay focused, take relevant notes and learn material.
As a former classroom teacher and student, I used quizzes with my studnets frequently to see if they understood the material. Results often revealed what needed reteaching, a different approach, etc.
How do you feel about quizzes? Sometimes beginning a session with a quiz from the previous session's topic can tell you a lot.
