In this class, students will read and analyze informational texts using the T.H.I.E.V.E.S strategy. We'll apply this method to an article about genes, breaking down key ideas and vocabulary for a deeper understanding of scientific text. This lesson will utilize a slideshow, video, T.H.I.E.V.E.S reading strategy guide, and scientific article about genes. We will begin learning about the importance of informational text, then learn how to break down scientific text using the T.H.I.E.V.E.S strategy, and we will practice the strategy on a real scientific article.
