Free Stuff for Teachers

In practicum this week, I learned of a "free" video put out by Miramax that is supposed to spark middle school kids' interest in Shakespeare. Entitled "Shakespeare in the Classroon," this 45 minute video was filmed at the same time as "Shakespeare in Love," and stars all the same actors: Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Affleck, Judi Dench, etc. The 9th graders in the English class I was observing responded well to the video, so it got me to thinking...what other free resources are there out there for English teachers? I would love to start building up my "trunk of tricks" for my future classroom. Please share!
