This section offers a variety of tasks and activities that your instructor can assign, you can do on your own, or you can do with your study group. The more you apply and use your new knowledge, the better you will store it for later retrieval. It is also important to find ways in which you can have fun with your new skills and knowledge.

1.			Write a poem that imitates one of the poetic styles you have learned about.
2.			Create a new type of poem based on rhythm and rhyme patterns.
3.			Plan a poetry reading in which you and your classmates read the poems you created in the first two activities.
4.			Invent a game that practices the poetic terminology you have studied. It can be modeled after "Family Feud," "Pictionary," "Password," "Scrabble," "Jeopardy," and so forth.
5.			Plan a poetry recitation in which several students recite a poem by their favorite poet.
6.			Write the names of the poets you have studied on small pieces of paper, then fold the pieces and put them in a jar or hat. Have your classmates draw a name and give as much information about the poet as possible. Keep score. (Variations: 1. Recite one or more verses or stanzas from a poem by that poet. 2. List the poems written by the poet. 3. Write the names of poems on the pieces of paper and, when drawn, name the poet and recount the thematic structure of the poem.)
7.			Create examples of the different rhetorical figures and tropes in both English and Spanish. Share them with the class, and/or have your study group guess the type of examples you created.
8.			Write a group poem: Select a poetic form (soneto, romance, and so on), and then have each person add a verse that conforms to that format until the poem is complete.
