Hey Miss!

It's the time of the semester again....reports time! Mary and DeeDee take you through what/how reports are written and what your students/children are actually being marked against!

Today we take you through Taika Waitititi's JoJo Rabbit; warning, spoilers are contained in this episode, so if you haven't seen the film yet...watch it first!

Mary and DeeDee talk with Augusta about unions; what do they do? Should you join one? How do you feel about Rupert Murdoch and Jeff Bezos??

Mental Health and Well-Being are extremely important for both teachers and students; Mary and DeeDee discuss both topics and end by giving you some resources and places you can reach out too.

Mary and DeeDee take you through Wilfred Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est. They discuss Jessie Pope's poem The Call, the context of the poem, a bit of Owen's bio and then dive into the poetic devices within the text and end with some suggestions for teaching this poem in your classroom! Also helpful for students studying the poem as well...

Mary and DeeDee wanted to talk about what it's like being a teacher fresh out of university...but it's been so long they can't remember. So, they brought in an expert! Eden; who has been teaching for eighteen months so far. Check us out on instagram: @heymiss_podcast

Today, Mary and DeeDee take you through one of their favourite films to teach (and watch in general), The Woman in Black. Just a warning, this analysis contains spoilers!

Mary and DeeDee finish (they hope?) their conversation about Covid in education; the annoyingly quiet microphone rights itself about 16 minutes in so please be patient with us!  Check us out on Instagram at @heymiss_podcast

Mary and DeeDee take you through Mark Haddon's novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, aka The Dead Dog book. Super helpful (at least they think so) if you are teacher thinking about using this novel for the first time or a student who didn't listen when your teacher already told you about it...

At the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 Covid made its way into Australia and then consequently...into the education system. Ever wondered what it was like to be a teacher during this time? You haven't? Well too bad, we're going to tell you anyway!

Mary and DeeDee (not their real names) take you through their journeys to becoming teachers as well as how they became friends...they think they're amusing anyway.
