For first lesson definitely recommend explaining them what guitar is, parts of it and how it works. Then teach them a very cool and famous riff, like smoke on the water, or something more modern, depending what they like. Also for the first class explain to them that they need to know chords to be able to play songs and that they are easy to learn. Show them first the easiest chords - Em, then Am, C and G. Explain that they will be able to play a bunch of songs with it.

Also explaining basically how notes are distributed on neck will be a good idea too

I always try to at first show the student a piece or two of a song (the easiest parts offcourse) he really likes. That usually always ignites more interest. I've had more luck that way instead of first showing basic chords and similar.
If the student is able to play something thats part of a good song and is able to connect what he's playing with one of his favourite songs, even if it just consists of 2-3 notes, that will make him/her more inspired to learn more chords and whatnot. This approach has atleast in my experience given me good results on those i've taught.

twist and shout - main riff - beatles. Easy, but still effective.

I would also start with some easy chords and then a riff from a song they love. If they see that with a little practice they can play this riff it will encourage them to go on.

Twist and shout is a cool suggestion, also some songs that have only two chords are ideal for beginners! THey really boost self confidence!
