Teaching songs is all well and good, but she'll need to get used to the feel of a guitar first.

I'd suggest teaching her scales first, making sure she uses her pinky. Too many people neglect it, even though its just as important as your pointer finger. Scales will help teach her different finger patterns aswell, which will also help with playing chords.

Alternate picking should be very high on the to-do list aswell.

Just my opinion of course...
