I used this lesson to introduce how to use a miter saw.  It was a good way to get the students to look through and read the information on Miter saws.  I used a KWL chart and had them create questions which we shared with the class.  Then they had to answer the questions by using the information I had given them.  It got them to read!  Check out the KWL upload.  FrontPage KWL blank.doc
