Here is a great essay planning/writing tool: http://slav.globalteacher.org.au/2009/03/29/essay-map/

if you want students to search the internet then one simple and good solution is to create your own Google Custom Search Engine (http://www.google.com/cse)  you can define the sites students will search and once set up is easy to manage and to get others to contribute sites. I use this at home with my children and have helped set it up in classes across all years levels - a very good resource. Once you have an account with Google you can set these up very simply - make sure that you register as an educator from a school so you get add free results.

Teaching idea - Buddies measure the growth of buddy over the year. Could be included in portfolio. []
