Once you have a list , rename the things based on your personal interaction with them. These names can be anything; they can be describing words or words that represent the sound the thing makes or your feelings about the thing.
Before the world became globalized and after the period of nomadic life, people lived in fairly isolated places dictated by their connection to the land. They could name all the species in their environments that they needed to live by. They did not have any conception of all the species in the world like we do today.
The purpose of this project is to create a system of classification that is made up of all the things we can name in our environment.
