that's it in a nutshell!

if I might add:

An hour and a half is a long class for today's students. You need either give a short break in the middle, or better, divide the time up into some kind of clearly defined "sections" that are different not so much in content, as in media.

90 mins of lecture = Split up the lecture parts with a demo of the mics, or some sound clips, or a video.

Pass the mics around the room. Let people hold them. Well the cheap mics anyway. Make everyone plug and unplug an XLR cable.
