Maybe something from Eric Clapton's unplugged could be very captivating

Hi Amir, I think you should try to make as broad a performance as possible. Covering several genres. Both to the students as well as to the head of the class.
Acoustic guitar. It's more musical as a lonesone instrument. I think songs like Greensleeves, The Boxer (if you sing), some Jazz, Working class hero (kids would know that from Greenday), a reggea piece, a classical piece. Compressed into the few minutes you've got. Good luck!

Agree you should have a few songs, but mostly get to know the audience, get to know their interests and talk to them as well. If a keen kid knows how to play already offer to jam with him/her could be risky but a good way to get a laugh and a lot of feedback/interaction. If no ones keen 95% the chance for not embarrassing themselves, if you know the songs they know and enjoy play one or two of them. You dont really need a plan, could wing it. Just whatever you do make it a lot of fun and enjoy! Singing is optional, but be sure about that one if you do.

First- talk to them! Lead them to tell you what they like to listen and - do they have a favorite band or singer ? The rest is up to you
