I'll reply to the list since this is a timely topic...
"What's in the News," the national current events program for grades 4-6,
will have a live call-in show next Wednesday (9-11) called "Kids Ask About
Terrorism". Many public television stations broadcast this series for their
schools, so check with your local PBS station if you don't know whether you
get it. More information at
http://witn.psu.edu/home.html <http://witn.psu.edu/home.html>
They are also airing a series of programs called "Naming the Nightmare: The
Journey back from 9-11". Again, ask your local public television station
(today so they can plan to get it if they aren't already) or if you have
access to satellit feed, according to their Web site "A FREE satellite feed
for classroom and community use of this series will be on Sunday, September
8 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. EDT (1930-2130)."
More information including teacher guides for the shows and video previews

They also have a current events Web site that provides a forum for students
to discuss these issues:

Hope this helps someone...
