"In addition to the twenty-six student essays contained in this volume, there are fifteen professional models. We have retained ten models that were used in the second edition and added the following five:<br/> |
| Title |
Phil Fontaine, For Canada and First Nations<br/> |
| -- |
Brian Maracle, Turtles Are Sceptical<br/> |
| -- |
Neil Randall, The Soul of the Internet<br/> |
| -- |
Jane Rule, The Harvest, the Kill<br/> |
| -- |
Deborah Tannen, Gender Gap in Cyberspace |

In keeping with the other ten professional models, these essays were chosen to present a primarily but not exclusively Canadian perspective. They also were chosen to reflect current student concerns. Two are about the Internet (Randall and Tannen), two are about First Nations issues (Fontaine and Maracle), and one is about the ethical dimensions of vegetarianism (Rule). |

Above all, this volume is designed to encourage students in the discipline and pleasures of writing, in the process and practice of written communication. As Patricia Schmida observed' "In writing this essay, I learned that to write what interest me is actually the best way to write what interest other people. I learned to trust my own voice." So many of our winners report on the discipline required to produce their essay. Robert Newman observed that he "learned how to have the patience to rewrite draft after draft without giving up." But they also reported on the knowledge gained, on the pleasure the discipline produced. Wayne Atkinson noted, "While writing this essay, I was forced to sort out my feelings toward life and what my priorities in life were. However, I found the writing process to be very therapeutic and have used writing to help sort out other problems and frustrations as well." All of the winners also reported an experience much like Clint Saulteaux's; "My writing developed as I started discovering who I really was. I believe that all individuals on this planet have a gift of individuality, something to offer someone and everyone else." This volume contains many of these gifts." (Preface, p. iv) |
