Essay Instructions:
- Imagine that you are the editor of a small newspaper (between the years of 1750-1865). Write up a newspaper account about an issue, piece of legislation, or an event for your newspaper (the event need not have happened locally). Be sure to include your "dateline" - newspaper name (which indicates location), date, and headline. Remember good articles often have quotes from eyewitnesses or participants or from laws, etc. You have room on your one sheet newspaper for a 500-750 word account
Remember, you are taking on the persona of a person living at the time - you do not know how history will turn out and you should only include information that makes good historic sense. So no use of a telephone to receive the news, etc.
