Woodland Hills Elementary Schools Host Nigerian Speaker

In February, Shaffer Elementary and the Woodland Hills Academy hosted a visitor, Tosin Agbabiaka of Nigeria.

Agbabiaka visited with sixth and seventh graders who are participating in the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh’s Student Ambassador Program. 

Agbabiaka presented a program entitled “Life in Nigeria Through a Nigerian Lens.” In addition to his presentation, the students also had an opportunity to play the African version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." All of the answers provided facts about Nigeria and Africa. After the students viewed the slide show about Nigeria, their visitor performed a traditional Nigerian song.

As a culminating activity, the students participated in "Nigerian Idol."  They wrote and performed a song that included information they had learned about Nigeria from the day’s events.
