Process Be patient and take your time. Just like Tomochichi and his crops, you cannot complete your activities all at once. For your hero club letter, remember to organize your thoughts and complete a rough draft. When making your poster, write neatly. You want others to be able to read it and know about the hero. Your drawings should be colorful. You may use crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Make sure to glue your stamps in the correct corner of your postcard (poster of hero) and put your letter to the president of the Hero Club on the opposite side of the stamp. Make sure to address your letter appropriately. Make sure to use the proper format of a postcard!
