Creating Tables

Part One: Zodiac Table

You must use your Zodiac reference sheet to help you with this assignment. It is attached
or you can find it in the Baylock Folder/6th Grade/Word folder under Zodiac.
There is an open ended question on the zodiac sheet that you must answer for instruction
#2.
A table is something that we use to store data in. We use them to organize our data.
Furthermore, we might use them if we dont want to write a large paragraph. I have seen
one on my schedule. It tells me what order my classes are in and who I have for each of
them. All in all, that is what a table is.
