Los estudiantes ^{<The Students}

 

Angelica's small class consists of five diverse students, each carrying their own burdens and hopes.

 

The Classroom:

^{Angelica's classroom is a repurposed community center, its walls lined with scavenged books and teaching materials. The room is modest but filled with warmth, a stark contrast to the desolation outside. A whiteboard stands at the front, bearing the remnants of past lessons, and a few wooden desks and chairs are arranged in a semicircle, encouraging interaction and engagement.}

Today Starts Here

 

A Diverse Group of Learners

 

Angelica Hernandez stood at the front of her makeshift classroom, ready to start the day’s lesson. Her students, each with their own unique personalities and backgrounds, were already seated and waiting. Despite the chaos of the undead apocalypse outside, inside this room, they were here to learn and grow together.

An Angel of Hope:

In this small classroom Angelica, lessons are a reminder of the world that once was and a show of the enduring power of knowledge and culture. Despite the chaos outside, within these walls, there is learning, growth, and a semblance of normalcy.

 

Angelica's commitment to her students and her belief in the importance of education shone through in every lesson. She knows that by teaching them Spanish, she is giving them more than just a language; she is giving them a connection to their roots, a sense of identity, and the tools to rebuild a shattered world.

 

In the heart of the Soulless Apocalypse, Angelica Hernandez, stands as a Leader of hope, spreading knowledge and cultural pride, and proving that even in the darkest times, the light of education can never be extinguished.

 

Angelica's Teaching:

 

Angelica, at the front of the classroom, her presence a mixture of grace and strength. Her deep black curls frame a face that radiates warmth and wisdom, and her hazel eyes reflect a determination to impart knowledge despite the odds. She speaks with a soft Spanish accent, her voice a soothing contrast to the harsh realities outside.

 

"Bienvenidos, everyone," Angelica begins, her smile genuine and welcoming. "Today, we will continue learning about conjugating verbs in the present tense. Remember, language is not just a tool for communication but a bridge to our past and a light for our future."

As she writes on the whiteboard, the room fills with a sense of purpose. The students, despite their varied backgrounds and personalities, are united in this moment of learning. Angelica moves through the lesson with a fluidity born of passion and experience, her explanations clear and engaging.

Angelica’s First Task of the Day

 

Angelica stands before her class, ready to begin the first lesson of the day. She looks around at her attentive students, ensuring she has their full attention before she begins.

 

Angelica stands at the front of the class, finishing up the previous lesson. The students are engaged, their notebooks open and pens ready. Phillip, the shy young man with a crush on Angelica, raises his hand hesitantly. Angelica notices and tries to keep her distance, yet she knows she must help him.

 

Phillip: "Señorita ^<Miss Angelica, ¿puede ^{<can you} explicar ^<explain el ^<the pronombre ^<pronoun 'yo' ^<'me' un poco ^{<a little} ? Especialmente ^<Especially sobre ^<about cómo ^<how a menudo se ^{<it is often} omite ^<omitted y ^<and la ^<the capitalización ^{<capitalization}."

Angelica nods and steps toward the board, maintaining a professional distance.

 

Angelica: "Claro, ^<clear, Phillip. Vamos ^{<let's go} a repasar ^<over eso ^<that."    ^{Note: Repasar means to review}

^{She writes "yo" <"I" on the board and begins her explanation.}

 

Angelica: "El ^<The pronombre ^<pronoun 'yo' ^<'I' es ^<is el ^<the pronombre ^<pronoun personal ^<personal en ^<in primera ^<first persona ^<person del ^{<of the} singular ^<singular, que significa ^{<which is the only} 'I' en ^<in inglés ^<English. En ^<In español, ^<Spanish a menudo...  ^{<It is often...}" 

 

"Senorita," Angelica was interrupted by a student.

 

^{Note: Together "Que significa" translates to "which is the only" but, alone, "Que" means, "What, That, ,,," and "significa" translates to "it means"}

 

Malone, continued. "Can you speak in English so that those of us who are looking to learn, may feel invited into the conversation?"

 

"Pordan me, Senor Malone." Angelica smiled apologetically. "Sure, it is often omitted in everyday conversation because the conjugation of the verb already indicates the subject. For Example, instead of saying 'Yo hablo', we simply say 'hablo'. However, the pronoun 'yo' can be used for emphasis or clarification." she explained.

 

Angelica pauses to let the information sink in before moving on to the next point.

 

Angelica: "As for capitalization, unlike English where  'I' is always a capital letter, in Spanish, 'yo' is not capitalized if it is not at the beginning of a sentence."

 

She writes Examples on the board:

 

Yo hablo español.

 

Hablo español.

 

Angelica: "¿Está ^<that's claro ^<right, Phillip?" she said after Phillip read the board out loud.

 

Phillip nods, his eyes wide with admiration. He tries to say something else, but before he can, Chrissy raises her hand.

Chrissy: "Angelica, can you explain the concordance of gender and number with 'yo' and also the reflexive verbs?

 

Angelica smiles at Chrissy and nods.

Angelica: "Of course, Chrissy. Let's look at those points, too."

 

She turns back to the board and writes "concordance of gender and number" and "reflexive verbs."

 

Angelica: "First, the concordance of gender and number. In Spanish, the conjugation of the verb with 'yo' must agree with the gender and number of the suiet. However, since 'yo' is a first person singular pronoun, we always use the singular form of the verb. For Example, 'yo hablo' which means 'I speak' and is used whenever the subject is singular."

 

Angelica corrects the board to show:

 

Yo hablo (I speak - singular subject)

 

Angelica: "There is no plural form of 'yo' because it refers only to one person. Confusion can come from reflexive verbs or complex constructions."

 

She then moves on to reflexive verbs.

 

Angelica: "Now, about reflexive verbs. When we use reflexive verbs 'yo', we need to use the reflexive pronoun 'me'. For Example, 'yo me lavo' which means 'I wash myself'. Here, 'me' indicates that the action falls on the same subject who performed it." 

She writes on the board:

 

Yo me lavo (I wash myself)

 

Angelica: "Did you understand this, Chrissy?"

 

Chrissy nods enthusiastically, clearly understanding the explanation.

 

Angelica: "Perfect. Any other questions?"

 

The students shake their heads, content with the thorough explanations. Angelica resumes her lesson, ensuring to keep a careful eye on Phillip and maintain a safe, professional distance. The classroom atmosphere remains supportive and focused, with Angelica guiding her students through the complexities of the Spanish language.

Angelica's Classroom Scene with Phillip

 

Angelica stands at the front of the class, having just finished explaining the intricacies of the Spanish pronoun "yo." The students are quietly working on their assignments, practicing their use of the new pronoun in sentences.

 

Phillip, a shy young man with sandy blonde hair and a nervous demeanor, sits at his desk near the back of the room. His eyes often dart toward Angelica, and though he tries to focus on his work, his attention frequently drifts back to her.

 

Angelica moves around the room, offering assistance to students as needed. She stops by Sandy’s desk first, praising her well-constructed sentences, then moves on to Malone, offering some tips on verb conjugation. As she approaches Phillip, she notices his fidgeting and the uneasy glances he throws her way. Sensing something off about him, she remains cautious, determined not to show any sign of her discomfort.

 

Angelica: "¿Cómo ^<How va, ^{<it's going,} Phillip^?" she asks, her tone warm but professional.

 

Phillip looks up, his cheeks flushing slightly. He fumbles with his notebook before looking back at Angelica.

 

Phillip: "Uh, estoy...^{<I am...} estoy bien, ^{<I am good} gracias, ^{<thank you} Señorita Angelica," he stammers. "Tengo ^{<I have} una ^<a pregunta ^<question sobre ^<about mi ^<my tarea ^<homework."

 

Angelica nods, maintaining a polite distance. She leans in just enough to see his work, but not too close. Her instincts tell her to be careful, though she doesn’t let any of this show on her face.

 

The Reader watches closely, wondering if he should intervene or watch things play out.

 

Angelica: "Claro ^{<Of course,} Phillip. ¿Cuál ^<What es ^<is tu ^<your pregunta ^<question?"

 

Phillip points to a sentence he’s written: "Yo ^<I estudio ^<study en ^<in la ^<the biblioteca ^<library." He seems more nervous than usual, and Angelica notices his hand tremble slightly as he holds the pencil.

 

Phillip: "No estoy ^{<I am not} seguro ^<sure si ^<if está ^{<it is} correcto ^<correct."

 

Angelica: "Es ^{<it is} correcto ^<correct, Phillip. Muy ^<Very bien hecho ^{<well done}," she replies, smiling reassuringly. "Solo^< recuerda^< agregar^< la^< tilde^< sobre^< la^< 'i' en^< 'biblioteca'^<."

 

^{Note: Alone 'bien' translates to 'good' and alone 'hecho' translates to 'done'. Together, 'bien hecho' becomes 'well done' in translation.}

 

She points out the small correction, making sure her explanation is clear. Phillip nods, trying to muster a smile, but his eyes betray his nervousness.

 

The Reader notices Angelica take a step back, giving him space.

 

Angelica: "¿Tienes ^{<Do you have} alguna ^<any otra ^<other pregunta ^<question?"

 

Phillip nods quickly, his eyes momentarily locking onto hers. Before he could get out a word, Malone: "You sick fuck! They were right. I think Phillip's a fucken purv."

 

Trudy: ^"Oh, dejalo  ^{<leave him} en paz^{. <alone.} No creo que ^{<I don't think} haya soltado su ^{<he has released his} jugo de saco todavia^{. <sack juice still."}  

 

Marcy: "Is you bitch's def or sum'em. My brother said, speak English." she snapped while looking at Trudy, then Phillip. She noticed Phillip staring at Trudy with hatred, as Trudy giggled to herself.

 

 

Angelica: "No, you guys, we don't talk like that. Let's focus on our work." She looks at Phillip nervously and moves on to the next student, her senses still alert. She makes a mental note to keep an eye on Phillip, aware that something about him feels off but choosing to keep her observations to herself. As she continues helping her students, she ensures she's never alone with Phillip, subtly making sure that another student or teacher is always nearby.
