I need suggestions, etc Options

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"?

Hmm, I agree with James that the whole NYC thing seems too complex for 5 minutes.

You could do something like different ways to organize your music or something stupid, IDK. How to load things onto you ipod? How to pick good fruits and veggies at the grocery store?

Haha those are all so random.
