Well, go out in the woods and find a rotten log, and get some termites, that will give you Isoptera.
Get a dog, and get a flea, and that will give you Siphonaptera.
Go to a street light at night and get a moth. Moth or butterfly will give Lepidoptera. A cicada or Cicada shell could give you Homoptera. Another bet around the house in some old papers, books, etc. would be a silverfish for Thysanura or sweep the grass with a net, look in leaf litter etc, for Collembola, the springtails. They are very tiny and jump, and are everywhere.
Hope some of the ideas help.

Wow, a lot has changed in the taxonomy of insects since I was in freshman biology. Cockroaches used to have their own order (Blattodea), so did Mantids (Mantodea) and Cicadas used to be (Homoptera). Oh well, ces't la vie. Anyhow according to my source, here are the other viable orders left for you to collect (in no particular order (no pun intended)):
Order Ephemeroptera - Mayflies
Order Plecoptera - Stoneflies
Order Embiidina - Webspinners
Order Phasmatodea - Walkingsticks
Order Dictyoptera - Mantids and Cockroaches
Order Isoptera - Termites
Order Zoraptera - Zorapterans
Order Psocoptera - Barklice and Booklice
Order Mallophaga - Chewing Lice
Order Thysanoptera - Thrips
Order Neuroptera - Antlions, Lacewings and Allies
Order Trichoptera - Caddisflies
Order Lepidoptera - Butterflies and Moths
Order Mecoptera - Scorpionflies, Hangingflies and Allies
Order Siphonaptera - Fleas
Order Anoplura - Sucking Lice

Try looking places where bugs may have accumulated (garages, basements, inside the hood of a car can have bugs in it, sometimes in one piece).
Zygentoma - silverfish can be found in the corner of a basement, or a bucket
Isoptera - try looking inside of rotting logs for termites
Siphonaptera - maybe a vet could get you fleas?
Are aquatic bugs allowed? You could always try a stream for imm. Ephemeropteran or Plecopterans.
Does your teacher allow trading with others? Got any extras to trade?
Good luck.

There are tons... some of the more common
-Isoptera: Termites

-Siphonaptera: Fleas

If you do not like those and want others, please let me know.
