DUE THURSDAY IN CLASS! Be prepared to share w/a small group. If you can, bring in a hardcopy. If not, have your zine ready on your device.
For tips & tricks on google slides, click here.
To use google slides to make a zine, you need to turn the slides from horizontal to vertical. Follow these three steps: 1) Go to File → Page Setup. 2) Click on Custom and you will be able to change the actual size of the canvas (change to 8.5 X 11). 3) Click Apply, now all of your slides will be vertical!

NOTE: Your hype presentations are due to me by Wednesdays at noon. Look for my email response that tells you that everything is working well after you send it to me. You need to grant me editing permission so that I can embed the slides. You do not have to be DONE with the slides at noon. Google slides and canva update in real time so you have until the moment you present to revise and update

V. ORIGINS: James Brown & the Breakbeat

"'Funky Drummer' provided Hip Hop a musical backbone with its drums on the one. 'Funky President' helped give rap its social consciousness. 'The Payback'? Well, 'The Payback' brings the swagger." ~Patrice Rushen

Below: The purple words provide the title for a James Brown track. That track appears first.
Next to it are tracks that build on Brown's beats and funk-vibe.
