Here is an EXAMPLE I created to help you if you get stuck. Please don't steal my questions. :)
Step 1 - Create a Smore Account
Create a smore.com account. Please do not link it to your facebook. Make it something easy to remember.
Step 2 - Begin Your Flier
Create a title and include your name in the subtitle section.
Create a new text box in Smore
- Open a new browser window and search, "How to Train a Dog" from Animal Planet
- Copy and paste the first page of the article into your smore
- Insert the following reference into your smore below your article:
Fortney, William. "How to Train a Dog." Animal Planet. Discovery Communications, Web. 29 May 2013. <http://animal.discovery.com/pets/how-to-train-a-dog.htm>.
Step 3 - Annotate
- On your own notebook paper, create two column notes for the first page of the article

Step 5 - Answer Questions
Create a new text box in Smore (title this box "Answers") and answer the questions you posed in Step 4.
Step 6 - Insert a Pic of You Annotations

Step 7 - Done Editing and Turn In
