Kofi's Tee-Ball How-To: Revise and Edit

Put the steps in order, keep to the topic, and fix the mistakes.

Read Kofi's how-to

Kofi wrote a first draft of a how-to about tee-ball. His partner, Lucia, read it and put sticky notes on it. His teacher, Ms. Brandt, helped too.

Kofi's How-To (first draft)

1My coach and i practice tee-ball every Saturday at Elm Park. Hitting is my favorite part. Tee-ball is like baseball, but the ball sits on a tall stand called a tee. The ball does not move, so it is easier to hit. Here is how to hit the ball off the tee.

2First, put the ball on the tea. Next, swing the bat and hit the ball. Then stand next to home plate with your feet apart. Hold the bat with to hands. My brother has a red bike. After that, lift the bat up over your shoulder. Last, drop the bat and run to first base.
