Technical Terms--example (RI 4)

Technical Terms are words associated with a specific field of study or topic.  While these words will often be unfamiliar to you, when you are reading informational text, there will often be clues within the text to help you make an educated guess about their meanings.  These hints or clues are called context clues. 

Below is an example of what I'm looking for in your class work today (Thursday, Dec. 5).

Technical Term: Surrealist
Context Clues: "paintings," "elements," "European Realist, Symbolist," "movements," "art"
Definition*: Surrealist is the name of an art movement

*I came up with this definition because the word Surrealist was included in a list in this article and all of the words in the list were referred to as movements.  I know it was an art movement because the sentence was describing Frida's painting.  I also know Surrealist is a name because it is capitalized in the article.
