Individually assessing your students before the bell rings! You can do it and they will like it!

Years ago when I taught 8th-grade science students basic chemistry, I had to get creative and find a way to help my students memorize the element name and symbol of the first 20 elements of the periodic table. Some students immediately went to YouTube and played the periodic table songs on repeat until they got it. Of course, I also assigned the standard practice worksheets and frequently reviewed those elements in class, but some students still needed more support from me. This is when I started my now infamous door quizzes.
