My students really enjoy making class books.  It's a fun writing prompt for them, and the completed project is usually a favorite during free reading time.  Students complete the writing prompt and illustrate their page.  Collect, collate and add the cover to make a sweet class book.  There are 2 options for the student page.  This writing prompt is a quick, easy and fun way to review action verbs as well as nouns.
