STAR answer worksheet
One page per story: the question or theme, two sentences of situation, the task, the action step by step, the result and a timing check at 150 words a minute. A final line records other questions the same story could answer. Print it or fill it in Word.

What is inside
- Question or theme
- Situation, Task, Action (bulleted steps) and Result sections with prompts
- Timing check and a reuse line
How to use it
- Use one copy per story; duplicate the page in Word for more.
- Give the action most of the words and keep the situation to two sentences.
- Count the words and divide by 2.5 for spoken seconds; aim for 60 to 120.
Why it is built this way
- Paper-friendly for people who prepare away from a screen; the browser planner is the same structure with the counting done for you.
- The reuse line exists because five or six stories, each able to answer several questions, beats twenty thin ones.
Accessibility
The Word file uses true heading styles, a single column and real text only: no tables, text boxes or images carry meaning, so screen readers and parsers follow the same structure a sighted reader sees. Guidance notes are plain text in grey italics and are meant to be deleted. This page summarises what the file contains.
