Mood Monsters Teaching Us How to Comment

The artists of Room 209 created Mood Monsters, tiny colourful monsters expressing different moods. Each student created one little monster and a voice bubble. In the voice bubble, the monster introduced him or herself and explains his or her mood and the reasons for that mood.

Also, in the middle of this colourful bulletin board, Erika made two huge voice bubbles reminding us of the appropriate ways to comments on our peers' presentations. When someone in the class wants to comment on another classmate's work, he or she will say, "I liked it when..." and then give some advice by starting with the phrase, "Next time...". The presenter will then reply politely with, "Thank you."
