After viewing the video clips and participating in a classroom activity, you will have a better understanding of Colonial times and the audience for which the paper was produced for. 

Be sure to note the work involved in setting up simple pages for printing. You will have to think about what it would take to print an entire newspaper, and think about the graphics you see in our sample paper today.  ----
