It also describes using sentence starters and real objects found in nature, like "magic beans," to spark students' ideas for speed writing.

TRC1: establish and maintain effective professional relationships focused on
the learning and well-being of akonga. This was an idea discussed with
Maureen that it would be great to have a list of pictures ready to help us
introduce Speed writing with the children. Once I’d created this PowerPoint I
shared this with her. Maureen created one of her own using pictures focused
on our current topic, which I liked that idea and would do one next term
linked to our topic.
TRC9: respond effectively to the diverse language and cultural experiences
and the varied strengths, interests and needs of individuals and groups of
akonga, diversity. I wanted introduce speed writing to my class and wanted
to use a variety of different ways to get this idea across to motivate, getting
children writing freely on a topic and enjoying writing. The different ways I
did this were: pictures, sentence starters and objects. We found what looked
like coffee bean in the Native Bush and didn’t know what they were so I
handed them one each and told them they were ‘Magic Beans.’
