The University of Victoria's Hypertext Writer's Guide
Developed for UVic's comp program, this site has gone "web-wide." This is the best college writers' site I've found. There are paradigms for six basic rhetorical modes plus sections on topics like introductory paragraph strategies and basic punctution. All have many examples, and the research essay contains the best set of examples of integrating quotes into sentences that I've seen.
