1. This is the initial bellringer for this class. For this bellringer, you are to create a Pages document. The document should be saved into your course folder and named: last, first - bellringers 1. Once you have done this, you should title the document and copy questions 1 and 2 into it. Finally, you should answer question 2. If possible, please answer the questions in a different color font than the question. This is not absolutely necessary, but it makes scoring these much easier (you will also receive bonus points for having done so).

2. What inspired you to take a media course as an elective? What do you want to learn from the course?
