Wonder Girls - Advocating for Global Issues

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Move over Wonder Woman ... here come the Wonder Girls! Using video clips of photographer Paola Gianturco talking about her work, pupils consider the life experiences of girls around the world, including places such as Tonga and India. They also hear one young innovator's idea for social change and use the notes they have taken to develop their own ideas to improve the lives of women and girls.
