Which revision would make the procedural text most
effective?
Many people have asked me how to ollie. Here are the
steps to follow to do an ollie.
Put the ball of one foot on the back, or tail, of your
skateboard. Put your other foot between the middle
and front trucks. Bend your knees deeply. Punch your
back foot down on the tail of your skateboard as hard
as you can, and, at the same time, jump! Drag the side
of your front foot up the skateboard slightly to guide
it. Repeat five million times until you can ollie.
O numbering the steps
O adding a materials needed list
O stating the purpose of the procedure
O listening actively

Procedural texts are texts that explain how something is done step by step. Numbering the steps is what would make the given procedural text most effective because that would make it easier to follow them. Without numbers or bullets, we can lose track of the steps we've mastered and waste time searching for the step we need to master next each time we read the text. That's why turning the step list into a numbered or bulleted list would make the text more effective.
