Many brilliant and hardworking people made contributions to the American Industrial Revolution, and one of the most famous is Thomas Alva Edison. Several of his inventions are the ancestors to the modern technological devices that exist today. With this video created by the Thomas Edison Menlo Park Museum, I would ask the students to focus on the phonograph and the special way Thomas Edison is described. Afterwards, they would answer 2 or 3 relevant questions (which they would have been given beforehand). Students with lower English language proficiency should be aided by the clear speaking and the subtitles (which they can pause and reread).
