Secondary English interview tomorrow! Lesson ideas needed pleease :-)

[oogleboogledoogle]

So, I willy nilly applied for a job yesterday morning and by 3pm I had the 'great' news that I had been selected for interview TOMORROW. Talk about short notice! Anyway, i've been out of secondary for a good few years and could do with a gentle nudge (read shove) in the right direction. I need to produce a 30 minute lesson on persuasive technique, I have loads of ideas (i've taught this so often but it's always been over a scheme of work) but i'm drawing a blank on an activity that is snappy, interesting and shows progress that I can shoehorn into 30 mins. Does anyone have any bright ideas? I'd be fine if I had an hour but I just cant think at the minute. It's a year 8 class MEG 6-7. Please help :-) Thank you xx

Anyone? xx

You could have this moved to Staff Room.

Thank you. Do i just copy and paste? I'm new here.

Why don’t you get them to sell each other something? Something rubbishy- you could bring a bag of props with you? Half used biro etc. Then they could list the techniques they used? Something like that? Good luck!!

I am in a group for another secondary subject... This is often a daily request. If it is an interview lesson, I have no idea why you need to ask someone else to come up with the idea? "Can't think" or "drawn a blank" is normally used on this group as well. Just seems a bit off for an interview lesson. You are really asking people to write your lesson here, not just one activity.
