In this Grade 4 vocabulary lesson from Vocabulary from Classical Roots Book 6, students explore the Latin roots port (to carry) and mis/mit (to send) through ten key words including portable, deportation, missile, and submit. Learners practice identifying synonyms, using words in context, and applying the noun suffix -ion to transform verbs like emit and omit into their noun forms emission and omission. The lesson builds both vocabulary depth and word-formation skills within the broader Chapter 3 unit on sending and carrying.
