Abstract In conversation with Matt Rogalsky, composer István Anhalt discusses his association with Hugh Le Caine and the National Research Council laboratories in the 1950s, the founding of the electronic music studio at McGill, and his early experiences learning tape music and analog and digital synthesis techniques. The composer describes his early electronic works, the use of electroacoustic elements in his later music, and the importance of electroacoustic music in music education.

Trigonometry, either as a separate course or as part of an advanced algebra-and-precalculus course, has traditionally been an integral part of college-preparatory mathematics. As college programs evolve to encompass the full range of the mathematical sciences (Ralston and Young 1983, Ralston 1985, National Research Council 1989), preparation for college can no longer be synonymous with preparation for calculus-or at least calculus as it is often taught with the emphasis on recipes and procedural skills. This realization opens the question of the place and nature of trigonometry in contemporary high school mathematics.

O conceito de descrição foi abandonado e redefinido como uma sequência textual, parte integrante de alguns planos de texto, como a do conto, da fábula, entre outros. Entretanto, perante a dificuldade percebida nos alunos em descrever itens, lugares, pessoas e situações tanto de maneira objetiva, quanto de maneira subjetiva, verificou-se, então, a necessidade de voltar às tipologias e trabalhar o texto descritivo (ampliando suas bases) em uma turma de segundo ano do Ensino Médio, possibilitando melhoria na composição de gêneros textuais, que possuam tal sequência em seu plano de texto de maneira mais eficiente e criativa. Unindo as novas tecnologias e o ensino, a dinâmica foi baseada em uma prática relatada no livro How people learn: brain, mind, experience and school (Committee from National Reserach Council) e adaptada para o contexto. Um grupo no whatsApp foi criado com os alunos, um deles foi escolhido e foi enviada uma imagem para uma aluna integrante da turma, que ficou com a tarefa de descrevê-la minuciosamente e postar para que os demais pudessem reproduzi-la da maneira mais fiel possível. Dessa forma, depois de trabalharem um bimestre como produtores de sequências descritivas, orais e escritas, os alunos finalizaram tal etapa produzindo um texto ilustrativo com base no material descritivo postado no grupo. Os resultados, descritos no presente trabalho, partiram de uma alternativa de sair dos formatos tradicionais da aula de produção de texto e proporcionando maior liberdade para que os alunos fizessem uso da linguagem multimodal de maneira competente e inovadora. Palavras-chave: Texto Descritivo. WhatsApp. Dinâmica de Produção. AbstractThe description concep was abandoned and redefined as a text sequence, an integral part of some text plans, such as the short story, fable and others. Due to the difficulty noticed at the students in describing items, places, people and situations both in an objectively and subjectively way, it has been observedthe necessity of going back to the typologies and work with the descriptive text (expanding its basis) in a second grade High School, making possible the improvementin the text genres composition that holds that sequence in their text plan in an efficient and creative way. Combining the new technologies and teaching, the dynamics was based in a practice reported on the book How people learn: brain, mind, experience and school (Committee from National Research Council) and adapted to the context. A whastapp group was created with the students, one of them was chosen and a picture was sent to a student from the class that was in charge ofdescribingit thoroughly and post it so the others could reproduce it faithfully. In this way, after working a bimester as oral and writing descriptive sequences producers, the students ended this step producing an illustrative text based on the descriptive material posted on the whatsapp group. The results, described in this paper, started from an alternative to quit the traditional formats of text production classes providing more freedom for the student using the multimodal language in a proficient and innovative way. Keywords: Descriptive text. Whatsapp. Dynamic Production.
