Bring your ticket, passport, visa, and K-1 packet and follow the signs. Check in happens right when you get to the airport, there is nothing to it. You hand them your ticket or passport if you have an e-ticket and they do their thing at their counter. Your flight will be assigned a gate number, like B12, so you will follow signs to go gate B12, then wait until they say you can board (same for your connecting flights). When you get off follow the crowd and the signs. One-way ticket is fine.

My family had the same experience -- first time flyers, etc. It all worked out pretty well, because there is so much ample waiting time at airports. Luckily, you can speak English, so you can just ask if you are unsure. If you have questions, call the airport. If you are at the airport and don't know where to go, show your ticket to someone, and he/she is sure to help you.

Have a good trip!

What would Xenu do?

A wonderful Ghana VJ member, Marissa (and now I call her my friend!) sent me a very specific, step-by-step guide from your departure at kotoka to baggage claim in the US. I will message it to you now... she has even included pictures with all of the information! So you can see what/where you are going and what things look like :)
