Question

Four teachers are teaching the concepts of adjective and adverb phrases to their language arts students.

Mrs. Martinez presents a two paragraph passage which contains three underlined adjective phrases and three italicized adverb phrases. The class discusses the common features of the phrases, what they modify, and they arrive at a description of adjective and adverb phrases. The students then write a paragraph containing at least one adjective and one adverb phrase.
Mr. Johnson displays several sentences—some of which contain adjective phrases and others of which contain adverb phrases—on the overhead. He points out the adjective phrases, underlines them, and points to the noun they modify. He does essentially the same thing with the sentences containing the adverb phrases. He then gives the students several sentences for practice, directing them to underline the phrase in each case, identify it as an adjective or adverb phrase and circle the word it modifies.
Mr. Chu presents several sentences which contain underlined adjective phrases. He asks them to look for the word that each modifies and identify it as a noun or a verb. He then asks them what the phrases that modify nouns must be, and when no one answers he asks them what modifies nouns. They respond, "Adjectives," and he points out that these are adjective phrases. He does the same thing with adverb phrases, and he then has them work several exercises identifying the word the phrases modify in each case.
Mrs. Evans presents a passage in which several examples of adjective and adverb phrases are embedded. She asks the students to describe the passages, and after they have made several observations, she underlines the adjective phrases, pointing out that they modify a noun in each case. She circles the noun they modify to be sure that the students focus on the relationship between the noun and the phrase. She then repeats the process with the adverb phrases.
