Mrs. Blemish - November 30, 2020
Paid LessonLesson Collection #1 - Lesson 15b
A hilarious information gap pair work activity to work on listening, vocabulary building and story telling.
"Mrs. Blemish" is a matching/cloze activity that deals with common but lesser known physical imperfections. Students will learn and talk about these words: dimple, wart, corn, pimple, mole, scar, hickey, blister, bruise and tattoo.
While learning and using these words, students will naturally start laughing, they've probably never seen these English words in print before. But, underneath all this fun, there's a serious English lesson at work. Students will need to identify where the items are with their partner and more importantly, they will need to relate a story about how Mrs. Blemish got the items. This lesson is fun - but it's also very conversational.
For a similar style lesson, see:
Body Slang (See Lesson 15a above).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,
I have been teaching English in Latvia for 5 years now to such varied student groups as Music College, military and Bible College students. I came across your site about a year ago and it has been incredibly helpful in my teaching. I have found all of my students - from the highest ranking military officer to the most ordinary school-kid - enjoy your lessons. The worksheets and the ideas are fantastic! Thank you so much for making the English teacher’s work easier, more varied and much more enjoyable!!!

Hi Kurt,
After reading the other testimonials, I really agree with them! I have taught ESL for 20+ years and I am always looking for exciting materials for my adult students. Your worksheets have hit the jackpot! They have captured the attention of my adult students. Observing them last night with the adjective synonyms, they were staying past the dismissal time and working to explore and complete the worksheet. Thank you, Thank you.

Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).

Dear Kurt,
Your lessons are professionally done and most of all fun!
We all find your materials more than just a fun filler even though they do liven things up.
I post each of your lessons on a teacher’s exchange board Mondays at school for the other trainers. The feedback has been nothing but praise.
Keep up the good work.

Dear Kurt,
I’d like to tell you that I find the activities wonderful. I teach young learners, adolescents, young adults, adults… and they work with all of them. All the lessons and worksheets are very creative and they foster my students’ motivation and participation.
Congratulations!!
