Read the following paragraph from Edison’s Best Invention. (Module 8 Week 3 Lesson 11 Teacher Pal p. 260)

  

The kinetograph led to the invention of video cameras, movies, television, and online video. The phonograph led to the invention of the jukebox, the vinyl record, compact discs, and MP3 players. The light bulb inspired the invention of many kinds of electrical lights, as well as power grids, and nearly every invention that uses electricity. The kinetograph and the phonograph led to many inventions, but not as many as the light bulb did. That is one reason why the light bulb is the best invention. 

What is the central idea of this paragraph? (ELA.3.R.3.2)

• A. The light bulb inspired more inventions than the kinetograph and the phonograph. It also changed the world more than the other inventions. It is Edison’s best invention. 

• B. The kinetograph and phonograph are just as great as Edison’s invention of the light bulb. They all contributed equally to changing the world.  

• C. The phonograph was just as beneficial as the light bulb. The kinetograph was less world-changing than the phonograph, but more world-changing than the light bulb.

Build gizmos and gadgets and doohickeys too. 

With each perfect failure, they all stand and cheer,  

But none quite as proudly as Rosie Revere. 

Why is the idea of a “perfect failure” an important theme in a story about an inventor? (ELA.3.R.1.1)
