Preparation is the whole part of this question. Make sure to bring along example lessons from your past job. Maybe whipping up a lesson plan could help you get the upper hand, as well.

"My typical day involves taking roll, while the students write about a quote of the day. Next, we dive into our text, spend time journaling or free reading, and have interactive activities to get students working in groups. To close, we have a group discussion on what students learned in the class period."

Planning a lesson should not be thrown together. I have consistency in my lesson plans as well that my students expect.
Shane's Feedback
Consistency is an ideal method. Do not forget to assess your students somehow before the class is over.
