Books vs.

Movies
Which one is better?
Dear Colleagues,

I hope you enjoy your purchase. All of the printables that are included

have directions and should be self-explanatory. If you have any questions,

please feel free to ask.

When I made the display board for this unit, I used the following supplies:

a tri-fold project board that I purchased at a craft store.

scrapbooking paper 4 12” x 12” sheets for the side boards

scrapbooking paper 2 12” x 12” sheets for the center boards

clip art pieces

author and book suggestion sheets

popcorn holders that I purchased at a party supply store

printables used for book and movie comparisons, graphs, and

voting pieces

*I got the book covers from the internet.

I would like to give special thanks to www.mycutegraphics.com for the usage of

all of her clip art. She is very gracious. If you get a chance, check out

her website.

If you like what you have bought and would like to see more, you may follow me
on TPT or look for my items on Pinterest.

Enjoy,

Mary
