Purdue Online Writing Lab (7 - 12)
Get some great tips to help with researching papers or essays. There's even a section on how to conquer "writer's block", that thing that prevents you from getting words from your brain into a computer the night before an assignment is due.

Student Resources in Context (9 - 12)
Look up a topic and get a quick collection of articles, videos, photos, and basic facts on a huge range of topics.  This is like Wikipedia, but more appropriate for school projects because it has primary sources cited and ready to use.

Literature Resource Center (6 - 12)
Check out biographies, bibliographies and critical analysis of authors from every age and literary discipline. Great starting point for book reports and biographies.
