how about relating your teaching to really common photography - such as using the camera on your mobile. since thats what the majority of people have and primarily use.
I've shown a few people things such as getting horizontal and vertical lines to actually line up, so walls and horizons are not wonky for example. using light that you have to hand to your advantage, or at least to get the most from it.
stuff like that is easy and can show an obvious improvement which is easily understood, it doesn't assume or need technical knowledge and can be transferred to any camera. you could move on from that to more technical things if needed.

I want some collective power from you all! I might be given some freelance jobs to teach some 1 day digital camera course, what can I teach in a day that shouts good quality and value for money? I don't know if that will happen yet but will find out this week and once I know the job's mine (I hope!), things will have to happen very fast... My understanding is production not post production, so probably more like an introduction to digital camera or something... it is only a day so I don't know how in depth should it be etc. I am used to teaching people who have pretty good basics in photography and in my day job, students are here to stay for 3 years, not a day... so I am really not sure what can be done in 1 single day?
