This is a ridiculously effective listening lesson for low to mid-range students.  3rd grade upper level middle school tends to buck against it though some of them enjoy it.  May be too easy for them.  The two youtube clips are below.

Hi all, 

This lesson is ideal for pre/intermediate classes to practice both future tense and comperatives/superlatives.
