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?
