While it looks a little cluttered to begin with, this is a great site for teachers to find usable, pedagogically defensible materials. You can use lots of free stuff at the site, but for a modest subscription price, you have access to everything Jason Renshaw has built. (He is also sympathetic to teachers in developing countries who may have difficulty coming up with the scratch.) He also has many short videos on the pedagogy of his work and teaching approaches in general.

News In Review sites that would specifically be accessible to English Language Learners would make a good companion to The Best news/current events websites for English Language Learners and to The Best Visually Engaging News Sites. Most of the sites on this list are similar to each other in format - they show slideshows of key images from the previous week and have short captions. I have noted, though, a couple of exceptions that provide audio or video.

This is "a free, easy-to-use screenwriting tool that helps you build stories for Movies or TV." The interface is a set of notecards on a virtual corkboard that can be moved around to create and organize a storyline. Accessible from table or smartphone as well as desktop. Additionally, there are "post-it notes" that you can stick anywhere to remind yourself where further information is needed, etc. Colorful and flexible, this is a nice graphic organizer for teens and young adults.
