Body
Visit the FREE website at: http://www.ed.gov/free

Twelve new learning resources in the arts, foreign languages, science, and
social studies have been added to FREE.

The Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (FREE) Web site makes it
easy for teachers, parents, students, and others to find learning resources
from more than 40 federal organizations.

Two particularly useful new resources may be:

* "Project REACH: Recursos para la Ensenanza y el Aprendizaje de las
Culturas Hispanas" offers resources on the history and literature of the
Spanish language, Latino cultures in the U.S., arts of the Spanish-speaking
world, instructional materials for teaching Spanish-speakers, and the
Quechua culture indigenous to the remote regions of the Peruvian Andes
(http://www.nflc.org/REACH/index.htm)

* "Grapes of Wrath Scrapbook" aims to enhance reading and
understanding of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath through
ethnographic research -- collections of sound recordings, drawings, photos,
fieldnotes, and correspondence. Students show how cultural artifacts support
one of themes in the novel.
