I'm about to go to a Kaplan audition (for teaching SATs) next week and one of the requirements is to make a 5 minute "presentation." The presentation's supposed to be me teaching a classroom something that is non-academic related (an example they gave was "how to read a wine label"). The purpose is to see how I interact with people when I try to teach something that I'm interested in.

I need to utilize the audience and a blackboard, but can't have any props.

I'm really not sure what I would teach. I thought maybe I can give a 5-min presentation about "how to navigate through NYC" and go through the rules of subways, avenues, blocks, different neighborhoods, etc., but... idk. Seems like it might take more than 5 min.

I've played piano for almost all my life, but I'm not too sure if there's anything in that subject I can really "teach" about without having some sort of visual.

Anybody have any ideas about what to "teach"?

how about teaching people to braid hair? it was the only thing I could think of that involved people without props. eeek I don't know, this is actually a pretty tough task. the problem with the hair braiding unfortunately is the willingness of females in the room to participate for the sake of their hairdos. hm I'm going to keep thinking on this.
