I have an interview next week for this one school and they want me to do a mock lesson plan with some of their materials. I have done mock teaching for my previous school using TOEFL test books but these will be younger kids. It's suppose to be about 10 mins. 5 minutes going over listening material and 5 going over reading material. Anybody would like to give some suggestions. Would be greatly appreciated.

If you name the school you might get more specific advice. I had to do a couple mock lessons for an �lan interview; if it's with them I can tell you exactly what to expect.

I have no experience in TOEFL demos, but TOEFL focuses on specific academic subjects that students might study in college like science, arts, and history. I find a few TOEFL readings which cover these areas, then ask students what their favorite subject is. Based on their answer, I would then teach that one. Introduce 10 new words they might not know. Find 1 or 2 words in a reading that might be difficult to understand in context. Ask some simple questions pertaining to the reading and then show where they are found in the reading.

Usually the first sentence will have something valuable to discuss. If it is a direct statement, then you can quiz them early on. If it is more of a conclusion being drawn, then you might want to save that near the end when students can give their opinion after going over the reading.

The lesson plan can be complete, you could write it up as if it were not a demo. Then, highlight the parts you will cover in the demo. This way people know what more would have been done in the class. If you teach any demo as complete, then it will look insufficient in my opinion.

It's for noble recruiting after school programs. They gave me some materials for their own schools. What exactly are the going to be looking for. I would rather not screw this up.
