Lesson 4: Position

Grade 5 students in Vocabulary from Classical Roots Book B explore position-related Latin roots in Lesson 4, learning key terms such as extraneous, extraterrestrial, extrovert, mediate, mediocrity, non sequitur, obsequious, subsequent, and sequester. The lesson traces meanings through three Latin roots — extra ("on the outside"), medius ("middle"), and sequor ("to follow") — building students' understanding of how word origins shape definitions. Practice exercises reinforce recognition of synonyms and antonyms for each vocabulary word in context.
