I teach at a public school and have five preps, which is, I
think, the fewest of anyone at my school. Yes, it's a lot of
work, but it's also never dull.

Anyway, here are some good, free resources for high school
English materials:

http://www.cloudnet.com/%7Eedrbsass/edadolescentlit.htm
(Adolescent lit. lesson plans)

http://www.english-teaching.co.uk/freeresources.htm
(Solid lessons for select novels and plays)

http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literature/litlibrary/
(Study guides for any books published by Glencoe)

http://www.pbs.org/teachers/readlanguage/
(Resources from PBS)

http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/
(Creates puzzles for vocab. and review)

http://www.randomhouse.com/highschool/resources/guides/
(Teacher guides for books published by Random House)

http://english.byu.edu/novelinks/index%20of%20novels.htm
(Tons of resources on various novels)

If you have a budget, I highly recommend
teachersdiscovery.com's novel guides; they generally have more
activities than you'll ever need for each book.
Centerforlearning.org's novel units are also very useful.
