Breakdown Your Question Using SARI (#6)

By
SARI is another tool that can help you to breakdown your question into smaller components.

You use it to prompt yourself to think around the question you are being asked.

  • Subject – the main topic that you will cover in the assignment
  • Aspect – the features, characteristics or points that you are asked to look at
  • Restrictions – any limits that you are given in your assignment, such as a word count, or limit to the topic
  • Instructions – any instructions you need to adhere to, for example how to format the assignment, whether to present, discuss, compare etc any aspects of the assignment

This is a particularly useful tool for helping you to breakdown assignment questions. Once you have broken down your question it will be easier to identify your keywords and help you to focus on the elements you need to address.
