Dear Jim Snow
Rudy suggestion about Cummings book is very good as is J.F. Kelly's Early Domestic Architecture of Connecticut, however these will provide you with the basics for 17th century New England only. There were colonial structures throughout the colonies and the tidewater region of virginai and Norht Carolina, to give one example, were somewhat different.
Your topic is too large and complicated to be answered in a letter like this. Try telling your teacher that you need to narrow it to one region, then go to a big library or bookstore to see what you can find. I'm very impressed that your teacher wants a bill of materials, I can hardly even get adult professionals to generate these about historic structures.
another place you can go is for information is the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) of the National Park Service, which may be partially on line. Good Luck
