Creating Tables

Part One: Zodiac Tab

A table is something that we use to show data. We use them because it is easier to
read a table then to read a boring paragraph that splits the data. We also use tables to
show data in a representative way .I have seen tables in my everyday life, such as when I
look a t my planner there is a table showing my classes for the day.
