Narrowing Broad Questions Answer Key

This worksheet helps students practice turning overly broad questions into specific, focused ones that lead to clearer and more useful answers. Learners begin with general prompts such as “Tell me about animals” and refine them into targeted versions that include focus points, time periods, or word limits. Through guided examples and personal practice, students learn how to zoom in on key ideas and eliminate vagueness. This activity strengthens questioning skills and teaches precision in writing and research. By setting specific boundaries, students improve both their critical thinking and their ability to formulate answerable questions.
