Videos about Quinceñera

Right after we spent a few days learning about Quinceñeras, this video went viral.


Watch the video and then complete one of the Hot Tamale Activities by leaving a comment or emailing me bordner@cityhigh.org
  • Describe the video in English. What happens? Do you like it? Why or why not? Do you like the song? The singer? 
  • Do a basic web search on Colibritany. Who is she? Where is she from? What other videos has she made?
  • Describe how the video is similar to what we've learned about quinces in class. What is a chamberlán? What in the video is different? 

Here is an episode of Yo Quiero Mi Quince, the Spanish version of MTV's My Sweet 16 show. Watch the episode (there are multiple videos) and then complete one of the Hot Tamale Activities by leaving a comment or emailing me bordner@cityhigh.org

  • Summarize the episode. What happens? Where is Briana from? Where is her family from? 
  • How is the show similar and different to My Sweet 16? Do you like watching these shows? Why or why not?
  • Would you want to have a quince? What would be different? The same?
