Our Visit With
Representative Rose
The students had the opportunity to listen to Representative Chapin
Rose. Mr.Rose is a representative for the Charleston area.
In addition to giving students a glimpse into the
life of a representative, he shared many
different stories about Abraham Lincoln. The students
particularly enjoyed hearing the story about how Abe Lincoln jumped out
the window to keep a bill from being passed. Mr. Rose answered
various student questions about laws: how laws are passed, the number
of laws in Illinois, the most recent law passed, the most unused law,
and many more.
