There are links to podcasts, videos, songs, "Grammar Safaris," and many other English topics

Story tools has a collection of tools to analyze your writing. For example, you can paste your essay here and check "readability" (it analyzes your sentences (long/short), use of passives, articles, verbs, etc) or clichés, word count, etc. It also works well to help you create your own stories (use the "story idea generator" button). Why don't you try using some of these tools before handing in your writing to your teacher? :)
