When I was a volunteer teacher for young kids in our community, I taught my students the famous sites of France. As I asked them to give examples, they all said in unison, "Eiffel Tower." When I asked them if they know who designed the Eiffel tower, none of them could answer me. I am not surprised when they couldn't answer my question because only a few people know who designed it. I know that the answer is Eiffel since usually towers are named after its creators but I have no background as to who designed it. When I did my research, I found out that Gustave Eiffel is the man behind the famous Eiffel Tower and The Statue of Liberty.
