In this article, the author discusses how her sixth-grade students gained writing skills and learned to "dream big dreams." She wanted to celebrate literacy, and also create something that could raise funds to support literacy projects, so she challenged her students to write to their favorite authors and ask each for a recipe. The end result of this multi-year letter-writing project was the book "Write Out of the Oven! Letters and Recipes From Children's Authors." The author discusses the curriculum, guidelines, and writing process used during production of the book.
