I would start with a brief history of money. Important to see and understand money as an emergent property that is established by social consensus rather than dictat. Rai stones & glass beads --> gold and silver --> fiat (how and why that occurred) --> BTC.
Nice to contrast with other modern economies where money arises spontaneously (@DerGigi has a great article here and could include a discussion of other closed economies like prisons where cigarettes are used as money).
Good luck
