- To engage students in the activity, they create an image of a breadbasket, and predict why the middle colonies were known as the "breadbasket colonies."

- Then then create a mind map to organize their learning as they explore a variety of resources.

- Students explain their learning by analyzing how the "melting pot" concept is illustrated in a primary source.

- To apply their learning, students choose from a variety of activities using numerous learning styles.

- Students then share their products and reflect on their own learning process.
