Sometimes in the books we read, we find **specialized vocabulary. Specialized vocabulary** is vocabulary that is not found in everyday reading and writing. In science textbooks, we find such specialized words as **photosynthesis, cumulonimbus,** and **genomes**. In a medical profession, we find such specialized words as **tonsilectomy** and **fractured tibia.**

In certain books, authors use vocabulary words that are specific to their setting, plot, or characters. In **Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie**, Steven uses many musical terms that relate to his drum playing. He mentions words like **paradiddle.** This is an example of a specialized vocabulary word.

With your group, make a list of all the **specialized vocabulary** you can find so far in the book that relate to MUSIC and Steven's drumming. Include page numbers. (Check your word walls! You may already have some listed!) Use the paper provided at your station. Define as many of these words as you can. If you can, search for pictures online. Don't print, but use the picture to help with your definition. Hand in your list when you are done with this station.
