Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Before reading the story, we meet in a circle and do a Whip Around protocol. I ask a question and everyone gets to briefly answer or pass. For this story, I ask, " Have you ever had to protect something you love? What was it? What did you do?"

Stop video at 5 minutes and 36 seconds.
