My suggestion would be to take a look at some of the many books that try to introduce Unix and bash to new users and see how they have approached a good / logical order of presentation.
cygwin itself is perhaps more directed at experienced users -- or in any case, it is making no particular attempt to be easier for novices to use than Unix is, or to provide special support for Unix novices. But that does not preclude someone (you) from making such a thing and perhaps getting it adopted into the distro (I don't control that!). Perhaps similar efforts have been made for linux, which might give a starting point?
