Answer
Hi, Rebecca.  This is a fairly simple undertaking for anyone who has done any sort of automotive work previously.  The diagrams to which I have access are in the Hyundai service manuals, and as such, it would be a copyright violation for me to share them with you as they're not mine to distribute.  On the other hand, you can register for a free account at www.hmaservice.com and access the service manuals and diagrams on your own.

1.  Remove the four 10mm bolts attaching the upper engine cover to the engine and remove the cover.
2.  Unplug the four ignition coils.
3.  Remove the three 10mm bolts attaching the wire harness to the valve cover.
4.  Remove the four 10mm bolts (one at each coil) holding the coils in place.
5.  Remove the four coils.
6.  Remove the four spark plugs.  (If you're not using a spark plug socket with a rubber insert, you may wish to have a magnet-on-a-stick handy for the purpose of pulling the spark plugs out of the plug holes.)
7.  Install four new spark plugs.  (If you have a spark plug socket with a rubber insert, you may wish to have a set of long-handled needlenose pliers on hand for the purpose of removing the socket from the spark plug.  Otherwise, you may wish to remove the rubber insert from the socket so you can easily pull the socket off the plug with the extension.  In this case, be careful that the socket does not cock and crack or break the spark plug.)
8.  Install the coils and reinstall the four bolts, plugging in the coils when done.
9.  Install the bolts holding the wire harness to the valve cover.
10.  Install the engine cover with the four bolts.
