Taxonomy Organization

In our poem, there is a struggle between an umbrella and the wind. This is what we based the classification of our book on. It is divided into natural objects and manmade objects. And from there divided into the objects used and then the way they were used.

A working idea right now is to include a photograph of the object and a silhouette of the object to act as a divider page for each item.

    I like your proposal paragraph b/c it gives me extra insight into why you classified it into your two categories. Refine it slightly (e.g not first person, improved grammar, etc) and include it as an "intro" to your taxonomy book. Let this concept also dictate the title of the book.

    Then, I recommend you simplify your objects (and therefore marks) list to those that relate only to UMBRELLA and WIND (or perhaps MAN and WIND). This core idea is strong, so no need to dilute it.

    Show me what the photos or silhouettes look like in the progress review. I'm not certain you need both - both is a bit redundant. Why silhouette?
