Dear Sir,
In reviewing the output of our organization's Educational Film Series, a staff member happened upon this screencast video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHT0lSHSSC8
It is most gratifying to see our unique passion for Microsyntheran science being introduced to the growing young minds of tomorrow! While we have had reports of biology teachers using Occlupanids as a tool in teaching taxonomy, this is the first direct evidence of such an effort- it looks like a grand exercise! Therefore, we are quite curious as to the results of your class, and were wondering if we could ask a few questions as to how the class segment progressed.
Was it a successful exercise?
The ambiguous nature of Occlupanid morphology could possibly result in many alternate systems of classification. Did you get much variation in responses? How did it compare to exercises depicting other objects or other living organisms?

Is there any sort of graphic that would be helpful to describe the concept that HORG could house on its website to further aid other teachers? Surely HORG is a 'synthetic' taxonomy, but our staff would be thrilled if our efforts helped students appreciate the science and methodologies of current taxonomic systems.
Thank you for any time, and for sharing the wonders of Occlupanology with your classroom.
Yours in Science,
John Daniel
