Let’s choral read this passage.
Sample Average Approximation Methods for Stochastic MINLPS
By Jing Wei and Matthew J. RealffIn the first algorithm, the sample sizes are
iteratively increased until the optimality gap intervals of the upper and lower bound are within a pre-specified tolerance. Instead of requiring a small optimality gap, the second algorithm uses tight bounds for comparing the objective values of NLP sub-problems and weak bounds for cutting off solutions in the MILP master problems, hence the confidence of finding the optimal discrete solution can be adjusted by the parameter used to tighten and weaken the bounds.

Six Strategies to Improve Comprehension
See Study Guide p. 73
• Self-Monitoring of Comprehension• Graphic Organizers• Semantic Organizers• Story/Text Structure• Questions and Answers• Summarization
![Page 16: ESL PLC Meetings January 15-16, 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56814afd550346895db810c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Self-Monitoring of Comprehension
• Students think about what they understand as they read.
• When they are NOT understanding, they use “fix-up” strategies to help themselves.
• Recognizing when the text is not making sense---slowing down, rereading, clarifying meaning.

Comprehensibility
• We will watch the DVD, “Why Reading is Hard: Reading Text Passages.”
• Before watching, look at the text on Study Guide, p. 82 and predict what will be difficult for our LEP readers.

Comprehensibility
• After viewing: Discuss what the readers found to be difficult.– Did you predict the difficulties?– Describe how you will make these passages
more comprehensible using strategies learned in this chapter and on pp. 87-89 of the Study Guide.

Teach the Text Backwards:Practice
• Choose either text on pages 68 or 69 OR a trade book from the table.
• Decide the grade level(s) and proficiency level of your students.
• Plan your lesson, using the Teach the Text Backwards strategy.
• Use your handout and Study Guide, Chapter 2, for guidelines.
![Page 40: ESL PLC Meetings January 15-16, 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56814afd550346895db810c2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Praise and Push• Develop a plan on chart paper with your
table group.
• We will share during a Gallery Walk.
• Use sticky notes to Praise and Push.
