Well to start with, if they're learning like you say they are, you must be a great teacher.
From here, I'd suggest you teach them some songs they like, sort of like an applications mark.
I also back up Akira about the minor penatonic scale. Teach them say, the popular 5th position of the Am penatonic, and show them how to move it around to play in any key.

Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

When I first started teaching, I found it really helpful to buy a few books on learning the guitar. The authors have usually figured out some pretty good methods of going from one step to the next and you actually find some additional lessons to teach that you wouldn't normally think of on your own.
Don't plageurize or anything, ...just use the books as a guide to come up with your own curriculum. After awhile, you end up coming up with your own 'book' as you type out lessons and photocopy them for your students.
