THE MOOD METER

The MOOD METER experience in Italy

Class: 4B Primary School (student’s age 9 -10) 
Teachers involved: italian, maths.
Date: may 2017

We describe an experience that we think with and for our students. 
Our topic was discover if our emotions are the same color as mood meter register.

All students wrote an Italian text about two special events:

• One week without our teacher (Erasmus Project –
  transnational meeting in Romania 6-12 May)
• First communion (catholic religion).

Some days later all the students read their texts and count and colour their emotions.

There are two students that have to add some emotions, because in their texts they forgot to write about them.

All students try to color their emotions using a colour that they feel.

Our results show us that 27 emotions correspond to the Mood Meter, while only 5 don’t.
