Anthrax movie for kids

[Pam McKeta]

Part of me just can't believe we've come to this, but...

A short animation called "What Is Anthrax?" is now available
online at no charge from BrainPop. The purpose of the animation
is to calm kids' fears about anthrax, since it's been in the news
so much lately.

Katie Dean from Wired News writes, "The film uses animated
characters to explain basic facts about the disease, and reassure
kids that the disease is rare and not contagious."

I thought it was well done. But please take a look at it before
showing it to kids. You know best whether showing it to your
students is a good idea or not.
