Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Non-Fiction Text Features worksheet
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?" boxSidebar

4. Arrow pointing to the toilet imageIllustration

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

6. Arrow pointing to "Water Cycles"Heading

7. Arrow pointing to "environment" in boldBold print

8. Arrow pointing to "polluted" in yellowHighlighted text

9. Arrow pointing to the pie chartGraph

10. Arrow pointing to the map of CanadaMap

11. Arrow pointing to the brown box with definitionsGlossary

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
