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"? |

You can't draw anything on the blackboard to help you explain it? I mean personally if I was to teach someone how to play the piano, or explain why the keys are the way they are or something like that. I would draw the keys on the blackboard or something like that.
If you were to make guide on how to survive in NYC then having little charts on the blackboard or subways, buses, etc. And the pros and cons or each. I mean use the blackboard to the fullest I would say. Even if you can't have props you can always make visuals out of drawings. |
