text: Uh all you have to do dearheart is write maybe a four page newspaper,(not the NY times). Since most sports weren't played then, you can eliminate that section. Probably wasn't alot of entertainment, other than the hot rumours at the local tavern, so you might not need that or the travel section.\n\nBasicly I think your teacher would like you to write a front page with a headline and story from that time, maybe 'the british are coming , the british are coming' and then write it like you're a reporter after talking to paul revere.\n\nYou could write a story about Benjamin Franklin and his latest  experiments.\n\nDo an interview with some of the possible forefathers signers of the declaration of independence on what they think or what they're planning.\nThen you might have an op ed page about how you feel about the revolution , are you for it or against? Tell why , try it from the British perspective to make it interesting , then have an colonist write a letter to the editor in favour of the revolution.\n\nMaybe have some ads for the general store  and quote prices. Make up business names like Revere Ware, Silversmith,  Ben Franklin Printery for example.\n\nSince women weren't allowed to vote it'd be directed to the males of that century.\n\nFrankly I think you have a great teacher for giving you this assignment and you need to use your IMAGINATION in doing it.\n\nProbably could print enough copies on your own printer so you needn't involve kinkos.\n\nGood luck and don't make your parents do this , this is YOUR project, they've already done a project or projects in school.
