Humans struggle to define, explain, and express their emotions and have a primary need to convey emotions nonverbally. Provide an example of a nonverbal response to the following situation:

Olivia was at her locker when she learned that she was not invited to a birthday party of a friend. Rather than expressing her disappointment and pain in words, explain how she might react nonverbally.
What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Sample student response will vary. An example might include Olivia slamming her locker door, looking down or away, walking away, crying, or any other expressions that convey sadness, disappointment, or anger.
