What you are doing is very cool. I once tried to teach my girlfriend's little brother (~13 years old) "how to make websites" but it didn't work out so well. Please keep us posted on how you approach the situation and how it goes. I agree with atgm that having a "final product" which they will be able to write from scratch or tear apart. What I did was go to a page, view the source, and explain what each line meant. It got pretty boring after spending 15 minutes explaining what Doctype is and how browsers "do stuff" so I'd say leave that for later.
