Not my area of expertise but maybe I can give you some suggestions & tips on presenting the material. Avoid just reading to the class or giving only a lecture; you know how boring that is when the teacher does it. Vary your techniques every few minutes.Make an outline and use it as hand-outs. This will serve you to present the material in an orderly fashion and prevent you from forgetting any material. The students and teacher can keep the hand-outs as a memento of an outstanding presentation (:
Make use of every tool you can think of that is at your disposal: powerpoint / overhead projection, chalkboard (w/different color chalk), hands - on (like beads on a neckless
where you can insert different color beads), other visuals; be creative.
Assume the class knows very little about the topic. Start with generalities, like definition of a prokaryotic cell, description of a plasmid, etc. Follow the outline going into topics like transformations, restriction enzymes, classification of plasmids, the future applications of plasmid research in genetic engineering and medicine, etc.
You may want to give an account of the history of insulin production: early extraction from the pancreas of human cadavers to pig insulin from slaughter houses to mass production from genetically engineered microorganisms.
Good luck. And remember, what every teacher knows:" If you can't dazzle them with knowledge, baffle them with bulls*it(: "
