Technical Vocabulary LITERACY · 6TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Technical vocabulary is the specialised language of a field, and it exists because precision is worth the cost of learning new words. Some terms are unique to their subject, such as photosynthesis, while others are everyday words given a narrow meaning, such as force in physics or theory in science, and the second kind causes far more confusion because readers assume they already know them. Technical words are frequently built from Greek and Latin parts, so learning that photo means light and synthesis means putting together decodes a whole family at once. Textbooks usually define a term at first use, in bold or in a glossary, so noticing the definition sentence is a specific reading habit worth building. Rewriting a definition in your own words is the test of whether you have understood it. Questions: 1 Why does technical vocabulary exist? 2 Which kind of technical word causes more confusion, and why? 3 How can Greek and Latin parts help? www.littleactivity.com 6th Grade · Literacy
