Give each student or group a copy of the THIEVES chart reproduced at the end of the lesson plan PDF. You may either write the questions on the board, or give a copy to each student or group. Each student should have a copy of the Natural Inquirer article. Go over the elements of THIEVES.
Then, with the Natural Inquirer articles and their THIEVES chart, students may begin reading. Have them follow each step in THIEVES.

This is a generic lesson plan that can be used with any article in this edition or with any Natural Inquirer article.
