The focus of this lesson is a note-taking activity based on a talk given by Jason Fried as part of Ted Talks. The talk focuses on advantages and disadvantages of working in offices.

This has worked very well with not-so-serious business groups, and the timings and stages can be adapted to suit various levels. the video, if played online, can be shown with English subtitles, which may further reduce the difficulty level. Lots of speaking (interviewing, teamwork, presenting) in the second part of the lesson.
