▼
Let's solve this "Non-Fiction Text Features" worksheet step by step. The goal is to label all the text features shown in the image using the Word Bank provided:

🔤 Word Bank:


- glossary
- heading
- highlighted text
- index
- map
- illustration
- table of contents
- title
- bold print
- sidebar
- caption
- graph

---

We’ll go through each red arrow and identify what it points to.

---

🟦 1. Top of the page: "Home Water Use"


✔ This is the title of the section.

> Label: Title

---

🟦 2. Box with list: Showers, Laundry, etc. (with numbers)


This is a list showing water use by activity — it's not a table of contents or index, but it's a chart or table.

But wait — it's just a simple list, not structured like a table. However, it’s likely meant to be a sidebar because it’s set apart from the main text and provides additional info.

But actually, looking closely — it's more like a table of data, but since it's not labeled as such and doesn't have columns, it might be considered a list. But in nonfiction texts, such side panels are often called sidebars.

However, let’s look at the context.

Wait — this box has a red arrow pointing to it, and it's separate from the main text. It's also not a chart or graph, so we need to check if it's a sidebar.

Yes! This is a sidebar — a box with extra information.

> Label: Sidebar

---

🟦 3. "Did you know?" Box


This is a small box with fun facts — typical of a sidebar.

> Label: Sidebar

---

🟦 4. Image of a toilet


This is a drawing — an illustration.

> Label: Illustration

---

🟦 5. Text under the toilet image: "Domestic water use in Canada."


This is a caption — a short description under an image.

> Label: Caption

---

🟦 6. "Water Cycles"


This is a heading for the next section.

> Label: Heading

---

🟦 7. The paragraph about water cycles


In this paragraph:
- "environment" is in bold print
- "polluted" is highlighted

So:
- Bold print: "environment"
- Highlighted text: "polluted"

> Label: Bold Print (for "environment")
> Label: Highlighted Text (for "polluted")

---

🟦 8. Pie chart: "Water use in the home"


This is a graph (specifically a pie chart).

> Label: Graph

---

🟦 9. Map of Canada with colored regions


This is a map.

> Label: Map

---

🟦 10. Box defining "Environment", "Harm", "Pollute"


This is a glossary — definitions of key terms.

> Label: Glossary

---

🟦 11. Blue box with words: conserve, environment, leak, waste


This looks like a word bank or vocabulary list, but it's not part of the original text. Wait — this is not a standard non-fiction feature. But it's labeled as “Can you find these text features?” — so it may be a list of vocabulary.

But in the context of the worksheet, this is not a text feature of the article itself. However, the red arrow points to it.

Looking again — it's probably meant to be a glossary? But it’s not defined.

Wait — the definitions are in the other box ("Environment: where a person..."), so that’s the glossary.

This blue box seems to be a word bank for students — but it's not a text feature of the non-fiction text.

But since the arrow points to it, and it’s labeled with numbers, maybe it's meant to be a table of contents? No — it’s not listing sections.

Alternatively, could it be a sidebar? It's boxed off.

But it’s more likely intended to be a glossary, even though it lacks definitions.

Wait — no, the definitions are in the brown box. So the brown box is the glossary.

The blue box is just a list of words with numbers — possibly for a matching exercise. But since it's part of the worksheet, not the actual text, it’s not a real text feature.

But the red arrow points to it — perhaps it’s meant to be index?

No — an index lists topics and page numbers. This isn’t.

Alternatively, maybe it’s a table of contents? No — it doesn’t list chapters.

Wait — the blue box has numbers like 2,3; 6; 4; 4,8 — these look like page numbers.

So maybe it's an index?

But index entries are usually alphabetical. This is not.

Alternatively, it might be a glossary with page references? But the definitions aren’t here.

Wait — the glossary is the brown box with definitions.

So the blue box is likely not a real text feature, but since it’s pointed to, perhaps it’s meant to be a word bank — but that’s not in the word bank.

Wait — the word bank at the top includes "glossary", "index", etc.

But the blue box is not a glossary or index.

Perhaps the red arrow is pointing to the whole bottom section?

Wait — there are multiple arrows.

Let’s re-express the labels based on where the arrows point.

---

## ✔ Final Labeling (by arrow):

Let’s go one by one:

1. Arrow pointing to "Home Water Use" → Title

2. Arrow pointing to the list (Showers, Laundry, etc.) → This is a sidebar (extra info in a box)

3. Arrow pointing to "Did you know?" box → Sidebar

4. Arrow pointing to the toilet image → Illustration

5. Arrow pointing to "Domestic water use in Canada" → Caption

6. Arrow pointing to "Water Cycles" → Heading

7. Arrow pointing to "environment" in bold → Bold print

8. Arrow pointing to "polluted" in yellow → Highlighted text

9. Arrow pointing to the pie chart → Graph

10. Arrow pointing to the map of Canada → Map

11. Arrow pointing to the brown box with definitions → Glossary

12. Arrow pointing to the blue box with words and numbers → This is tricky.

But notice: the blue box says:
```
conserve 2,3
environment 6
leak 4
waste 4,8
```

These look like page numbers — so this is likely an index!

An index lists topics and the pages they appear on.

Even though it’s not alphabetical, it’s still an index.

So yes — this is an index.

> Label: Index
