    This episode was really interesting. I think it could be used within the theme of La Vida Contemporánea, Desafíos Mundiales, and/or Ciencia y Tecnología. I could imagine using is as a cultural comparison and getting the kids to think about "fake news" and compare/contrast media sources from 20th century (circa 1950) with our sources of news/information today. What is the potential fallout from unreliable sources of news? While the event in Quito is an extreme example from 70 year ago, what are the implications of fake news today?
