I am going to try and note the history/purpose of oral storytelling-teaches a lesson/moral, develop imagination, preserve memories, and pure entertainment by trying to add images that will connect to this. That may sound a little far fetched, so I am open to suggestions on how I should go about this. Maybe, that part will just have to be narration. While researching 1001 Arabian Nights, I came upon many stories within stories. Additional stories may be included after I experiment with narration, music, and other effects. I will also work on a script this week.

Could you tell me more about how you are going to use the A and B section listed. I think oral story telling is going to an interesting topic. I can not wait to see how it evolves, especially on how you are going to use the stories together. I love the 1001 Arabian Night. I have a Persian friend who may help you with some personal reflections of oral story telling. She heard these stories a lot as a child. That would be interesting to see what is being said about 1001 Arabian Nights in todays age. That might be a whole presentation in itself.
Can't wait to see more!
You're right...collecting images to go with oral storytelling will be a challenge. In your research, I would look for stories that evolved and changed over time and were then written down later. Maybe you could note some of the interesting differences in certain versions. I know we're supposed to write the script first, but I would suspect that your search for images may drive your script a little.
