I want to give a demonstration speech on philosophy for my class but unsure of topic. Here's one I thought of?

Basically for class (not philosophy) we need to give a "demonstration speech" about 10-20 minutes long, showing how to do something. For all the speeches I have done so far, I have done it on a philosophical topic and I don't want to break from it but philosophy is something that's hard to demonstrate.

What I thought of is, to demonstrate very basics of syllogism, illustrating various types of it  emphasizing "how to think logically" then after the explanation, I will probably try to debunk a controversial topic (not sure yet) using said techniques.

I feel like people will do something that's very physical like how to make a \_\_\_ or how to do \_\_\_\_\_ so I think my topic might be too nonphysical?

&#x200B;

What I want to ask is though, is there better topics to demonstrate in philosophy rather than what I initially thought of? Can anyone suggest anything else? I only took few college courses so I am not very knowledgeable in philosophy but I really like learning it.

Here's what i do when i engage with someone and want them to become interested in philosophy, i pick a proposition that some philosopher holds and that seems ridiculous at first glace, then i offer them the reasons and show them the argument for why some philosophers have reached that conclusion, making the claim more plausible to them, when it first sounded ridiculous, will definitely peak their interest and will show them how philosophers reach their conclusions. For an example of a position that might seem ridiculous at first, i like to use the proposition that "Every mathematical statement is literally false", and show them the defense of this claim and why intelligent well reasoned philosophers can say such a claim that might at the beginning sound so ridiculous.
