  2. Dear student, This is the first WebQuest you will participate in during the semester. I hope you enjoy it and learn as much as you can from it. Throughout this workshop, you will learn not only about concepts and procedures within the field of telecommunications, but also about how to read and interpret texts understanding their structure according to their communicative purposes. As an introduction, I would like to invite you to read a welcome message I wrote for you. Please go to http://rocioisabel.wordpress.com and read the message written on this Blog. This internet tool (Blog) will be part of our evaluation instrument for this WebQuest and the next one you will work with. At this point, I know that you may not be familiar with the concept of WebQuest. The following section will be a short review of what a WebQuest consists of.

  3. What’s a WebQuest? A WebQuest is an on-line set of activities which are developed by students in order to achieve an objective. During these activities, students work in groups using the internet technology and promoting cooperative work. Do you want to know more about WebQuests? Click here http://webquest.org/ . This Website gives you all the information you need to know about how WebQuests work.

  4. Genres Rhetorical Structure: The disciplinary text First, it is important to know that the rhetorical structure of a particular text depends on the communicative purpose that the text has. In this sense, a Macro Move corresponds to the communicative purpose of a section of the text, a Move corresponds to a unit within the Macro Move which has a communicative purpose on its own, and Steps correspond to those units that have a communicative purpose and are part of the different moves of the text. Macro Moves, Moves, and Steps form the rhetorical structure of the text and they account for the communicative purpose of it. Take a look at the following table. It explains what the communicative Macro purpose of the Didactic Guide, Operational Manual, and Disciplinary text are: COMMUNICATIVE MACRO PURPOSE Instruct Regularize Persuade Didactic Guide Operation Manual Disciplinary Text

  5. The Following table corresponds to Macro Moves, Moves and Steps of the disciplinary text you just read. Study this table and then follow the instructions below.

  6. DISCIPLINARY TEXT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_%28electronics%29 http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/acdc.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal http://www.samson.de/pdf_en/l150en.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_%28physics%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/PeriodAndFrequency/ http://artsites.ucsc.edu/EMS/Music/tech_background/TE-01/soundWPF.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_allocation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency http://www.dplay.com/tutorial/freqpaint.html http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/audio_frequency.html

  7. The evaluation process you will go through consists of two parts: *The first onewill be assessed using the rubric below: your two Word Documents will be evaluated using this rubric. *The second evaluation consists of a second genre that will be now presented to you: the Didactic guide. This genre also has a rhetorical structure and is formed by a Macro Move, a Move and a Step. You will have to take a look at the rhetorical structure and then answer the questions contained in the Didactic Guide.

  8. The Didactic Guide The didactic Guide also has a distinctive rhetorical structure. Now you are going to answer some questions taken from a Didactic Guide that has been prepared for you. Please go to http://rocioisabel.wordpress.com/ and take a look at the right column of the Website. Click where it says Disciplinary Guide and download the file. Then Answer the questions you will read in this genre. After you finish answering the questions, add one more page and prepare Mind Map of what you think is the rhetorical structure of this genre. When you finish, save a copy of the Word document and email it to rocioriveracid@gmail.com. CLUE: The Didactic Guide consists of only one Micro Move, one Move, and one Step.

  9. CONGRATULATIONS! You have finally come to the end of this first WebQuest of our Workshop.
