This is an educational worksheet titled 'Comparing Two Nonfiction Texts: The Influence of Water.' It features two short nonfiction passages, one about the influence of water on a cattail and the other about the influence of water on a cactus. The worksheet prompts students to read the texts and use the information to complete a graphic organizer on page 2 (not visible in the image). The page includes cartoon illustrations of a cattail and a cactus.
