HOW many have been rescued so far? HOW were they rescued? WHO was the first miner to reach the surface? WHO presented people with gifts when he emerged from the mine? WHO will be the last to come up? WHO is the president of Chile, who has “stak[ed] his young presidency on an unbridled push to rescue the miners”? WHAT is Camp Hope? WHAT were the miners’ lives like during the months they were in the mine? WHEN did the cave-in that trapped the miners occur? WHEN is the last miner expected to be rescued? WHY has the race to save the miners “thrust Chile into a spotlight it has often sought but rarely experienced”? WHY do you think many are worried about the miners’ mental adjustment to ordinary life after their rescue? (For more on this subject, read this article.) WHERE is Chile on a world map? |
