HELP! bracket diagrams and flow charts

[crazymama]

Does anyone have any links that are on a kids level to teach these things? I am trying to help him do a bracket diagram of organisms. I want to break it down as we go along but he's just not getting it. I am hoping that someone has something on a level that he will understand.

I liked the one on top best, it discusses story boards and such that help with many areas of learning !
That is in a sence what a lap book is a story board gone wild!
:D
I am going to use thier example for a book report plan for ds10 in fact!
