Hello! I’m Suzanne Reed. I’m thrilled to be starting my 26^th year of teaching ELA. This is my fourth year at WMS. I am originally from Warren County and reside in Cannon County with my husband Johnny and Darci, our Teddy Bear (Bichon and Shih Tzu mix) who is the boss of the house. We have one son and daughter-in-law. My free-time activities include reading, painting, relaxing, and being with family.

8^th grade ELA is a year of enhancing our vocabulary, improving our reading, writing, and grammar, and striving to develop life-long learners.

Unit 2: Frankenstein 

Unit 3: Romeo and Juliet

Unit 4: Literature and Personal Narratives from the Holocaust

Unit 5: Writing Review/Test Prep

We will have independent reading projects throughout the year.
