The Mines' Afire - Pre Reading

For reading this term we are going to be reading 'The Mines' Afire' by Susan Battye and Thelma Eakin. This book is based around the Brunner Mine Disaster that happened in 1896, just 13kms from my home town. We haven't yet started reading the book however we read the Historical Notes to get a bit of an idea about the book. Miss Hines created a slide with questions (about the mine) on it that we had to answer. 
Later this term we are going to be visiting the old Brunner Mine site.
