5 Minute lesson plan

Hi all!

I have an upcoming graduate school interview in which I am asked to present a 5 minute lesson to a group of my peers and a few interviewers. From the website: "You may teach a lesson of your choice that you have planned for a specific grade level (from pre-K to 12th grade) and subject area. It is acceptable for you to assume some prior knowledge, and you should communicate this to the interviewers and other applicants by beginning your lesson with a reference to an earlier lesson (e.g., “You'll recall, students, that yesterday we began discussing literary devices. Today we're going to talk about one specific literary device called the simile, and you're going to learn how to pick out a simile when you come across one in your reading.”)."

They encourage the lesson to be interactive, so I should include visual aids, handouts, or some sort of group activity. BUT! Its a virtual interview over zoom, which I am confused how I would include worksheets or physical materials. I'm just at a loss of where to start. I feel pretty comfy teaching anything except math, and I studied Geography in undergrad.

I was just wondering if anyone had some ideas, or a good place to start? Maybe a unique idea of something to teach? Or a 5 min lesson plan that really worked for you? Or if you dont have any of those things, any general advice for education grad school interviews? Thanks for the help!
