High school?
Topic: Verbs that have become nouns. The newest one is "reveal" -- "Tune in tonight for the big reveal" or "The shocking reveal will be in next week's season finale."
You can first talk about how verbs become nouns, why, and then list some examples.

The word "love." I love my mother. I love pizza. I love my cats. I love my new shoes. I love that new movie I saw Friday night.
Other languages have more than one version of that word. English doesn't.
