Did you know? 🤔 

When creating the Prince in the Sleeping Beauty in the early 50s, the creators looked for inspiration to the dashing Prince of the time that people knew best: Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.

This is why Aurora’s Prince Charming is called Prince Phillip. He is also the first Disney Prince to have a name! The animated film eventually came out in 1959✨

The royal family

Zoals je ziet, hebben veel familieleden in het huis (Mountbatten-)Windsor een titel met daarin een regio of een stad 

verwerkt van The United Kingdom. Hierop komen we donderdag terug.

Queen Elizabeth II is the ... of the UK and the Commonwealth (= 'Gemenebest'). She is also head of state and the Church of England.

1. monarch
2. prime minister

The Commonwealth

Queen Elizabeth II is already 94 years (her birthday is this Wednesday, hurray!). She's been the Queen since 6 February 1952. Which jubilee (= jubileum) will she celebrate in 2022?

1. 50 years
2. 60 years
3. 70 years
4. 80 years

She's the longest serving monarch in British history. Her great-great-great-grandmother Victoria held the record at 63 years. But, it's not the longest in the world yet. She's in ... place.

1. first
2. second
3. third
4. fourth

Note: she's the only one who can still 'win' ;-)!

But when Queen Elizabeth dies, ... is first in line to become king/queen.

1. Prince Charles
2. Princess Anne
3. Prince William
4. Prince Harry

Fun fact: Charles is already 72 (!). Normally people are retired by then... Maybe William will be next?

Belangrijk!

Oefen tegen donderdag de termen United Kingdom, Great Britain etc. zoals ook bij 'English Culture' in de inhoudsbibliotheek staat. De opdracht "1AM - Engels - Culture - The British Isles & Saints' Days"- die je in maart al kreeg - dien je ten laatste donderdagochtend in, enkel p. 1+2.  

Er staat in die inhoudsbibliotheek ook een 'test yourself' met tips.

Ten laatste woensdagavond dien je een screenshot vanuit Quizlet te uploaden van je vorderingen. Je krijgt donderdag een 'pop quiz' over culture, na de toets over T16-17-18 (telling the time, present simple vs. present continuous). De quiz doen we in Lesson Up.
