Your first lessonI would start with the very basics. Holding the guitar, holding the pick, how to tune etc. Would start with simple strumming just to get used to the instrument.
Lesson 2-3These lessons I would either choose a song or have the student choose a song, which I approve of as the difficulty level may vary. Hop straight into learning songs as I feel this is way more fun and engaging as a beginner.
Lesson 4-10I will continue teaching songs, but not just the songs, teaching why these songs make sense and how they were made. I am a big fan of learning how a song is made so that you can recreate that in the future, some simple theory goes a long way.
Lesson 11+These lessons will consist of mostly the same, maybe diving into some lead stuff, improvisation, and more advanced theory topics.

Working with teenagersWhen working with any student, you need to set a base line of what the student would like to learn/what their goals are. With this you can create a lesson that not only helps them learn better, but also keeps their attention and gets then excited to learn more.
