During this activity you’ll explore your thoughts and feelings on an issue in order to have a thoughtful discussion with your group.
People have mixed feelings about some authorities and special purpose governments. In groups of no more than 7, have a discussion about the Public Lighting Authority (PLA) and decide how you will engage with them. Remember, you’ve learned about the PLA in the lesson, Government Plus, as well as in the lesson, Responsibilities.
