September 11th in the Classroom: BrainPOP Releases Free Movie That Helps Answer Children's Difficult Questions Watch the Movie New York, September 10 – With the seventh anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks upon us, many children are asking questions that adults may struggle to answer. BrainPOP, the award-winning creator of animated, educational content for children, today released a movie that helps parents and educators address the difficult subject. The movie and related online features will be free throughout the month of September at www.brainpop.com/september 11. "When a child asks about September 11th, it’s not always easy to speak about what happened – or why it happened," said Avraham Kadar, M.D., BrainPOP’s CEO and Chairman. "As a New York City-based company that specializes in supporting teachers and communicating with students, we very much wanted to help." BrainPOP’s September 11th movie is a resource parents and teachers can use to explain the sensitive topic and encourage children to discuss their feelings about what happened that day. They can also find and exchange ideas about how to discuss the subject on BrainPOP Educators.
