    SEE…
    -A music video cover of the Spice Girls empowering women.
    -Girls in school promoting education for females.
    -Messages about equal pay for women.
    -Female celebrities tweeting about gender equality.

    THINK…
    -Females should have equal rights to males.
    -All girls should be able to go to school.
    -Child marriage should be ended.

    WONDER…
    -Why are some people so narrow-minded?
    -Why do males have more rights in certain countries than females?
    -Which religions believe males should have more rights than females and why?

    Hi

    I see….

    Girls dancing
    I saw girls in a room promoting equal education
    Boys holding the girl gender sign with an equal sign in the middle

    I think….

    Girls should go to school and get an education just like boys
    When a man/boy gets paid, he gets paid more. I think gender shouldn’t matter. Woman/girls should have the same rights and get paid what they earn or at least equal to what the other gender gets paid. The bus in this clip backs this explanation up.

    I wonder….

    Did the video make a difference?
    Why did it start off as girls who didn’t have right? Why not the other way around? Why not boys?
    How did this discrimination towards girls start?
    Who started this unfairness?

    Thanks for reading! 🙂 😉 🙂

    I See…..

    I saw on the bus it said equal pay equal works.
    I saw a classroom with kids it looks like they are a bit poor.
    I saw girls singing and they were singing in all different places and when they were in the classroom I notice that they were all girls and I saw that they were holding signs.

    I Think…..

    I think it is trying to tell us to give girls the same education as boys do.
    I also think it is trying to tell to treat girls just the way people treat boys.
    I think the songs match the scene.

    I Wonder…..

    I wonder why they are traveling all around different countries? I wonder why some man don’t think we have the right to go to school? I wonder why more girls are coming to the places the spice girls are coming to.

    I see…
    I see girls dancing and singing a song about stopping violence against girls.
    I see sighs that say stuff about girl rights and how we should let girls have the same rights as boys.

    I think….
    I think that this video is about girls having the same rights as boys and to stop child marriage.
    I think that the girls are trying to send a message to the world to stop child marriage and let girls have the same rights as everyone else.
    I think they are using this song because this is what they want in the world and hope for it to happen.

    I wonder…
    I wonder what made them want to do this video when plenty of people may have made the same video as these girls and nothing has really changed in some questions.
    I wonder if they went to different countries to make this video.
    I wonder if this video did make a change in some countries and if people have looked at this video and have decided to make a change like these girls.

    I See

    I see girls fighting for rights.
    I see kids fighting against child marriage.
    I see people living on the street dancing.
    I saw people wanting equal money as men.
    I saw a sigh that said stop woman abuse.

    I Think

    I think that this video is trying to empower woman in third world countries.
    I think they are trying to tell every one what what people (Men) are doing to woman.
    I think they are moving to country to country to show how much gender equality there is in the world.

    I Wonder

    What are their hopes by showing everyone this video,and will it make a difference in the world.
    Why do men they have the power over woman.

    I see…..

    I see that there are only girls who are promoting gender equality and all girls to have their own rights.They are also promoting all girls to be equal as boys.

    I think…..

    I think they are girls who believe in human rights and that all girls should be treat as they matter in the world. They are trying to make everything equal even though men get treated better because of their gender.

    I wonder…..

    I wonder…..

    I wonder why do girls not get as equals?
    Why are they throwing their books if they want education?
    Why dont people make a change in life and have gender equality?

    I see…

    Women dancing and telling messages about ho girls and women don’t have the rights like men do to go to school and choose how their life goes and what jobs they get and signs saying the different problems with gender equality.

    I think…

    Girls shouldn’t be forced to do anything the don’t want to and these ladies have experienced not having right and being forced to do things.

    I wonder…

    What countries is this video filmed in,
    If the spice girls inspired them to make this video,
    If the spice girls have come from the countries in the video,

    I see…
    Girls dancing to promote gender equality, on the bus it said equal work equal pay. I also see a classroom full of kids that look very poor but also very happy.

    I think…
    That these girls are very brave standing up for women like that.I also think that girls should be treated the exact same as boys because we do the same things the same way sometimes even better.

    I wonder…
    How these girls got together the courage to create this song,
    I wonder if it was easy for the spice girls to get an education,
    If the spice girls were ever forced to do something.
