You have already named 8–10 values and backed each one with a real occasion. Listing was one job; today you are reflecting, and ranking is the harder one because you have to choose: which of those values sit at the top for you right now, and which matter but not most?

Two people can share the same value and rank it completely differently. That difference is useful, not a problem.

Three terms you will use in the card-sort and in your portfolio write-up:

The on-screen card-sort is a short practice with nine common values so you can feel how three columns work. There is no correct arrangement: any value can sit in any column.

Your real ranking uses the 8–10 values you already named (with evidence) in your Values document. Open that list first. Sort your values into three columns headed exactly:

• Top 3
• Next 5
• Matters less right now

Use the on-screen cards only as optional prompts if a common value helps you think. If one of your personal values is not on the cards, it still belongs in your document columns.

Save the artefact in your Digital Portfolio under Strand 1.1 as Values (or your existing Values file) with those three headings, then a subheading Top-value paragraph under your first Top 3 value. Write about 80–120 words explaining why that top value sits first for you right now. Use a real occasion if you can: a time you chose it over something else. Done carefully, this paragraph is reusable evidence for later personal-statement work, Applied Learning Tasks, and Portfolio in Action.

Talk these through with the person beside you, or sit with them quietly on your own:

• Pick one value in your lower column. What would have to change in your life for it to move into your Top 3, and would that change be welcome?
• If you can find someone nearby who shares a value but ranked it differently, compare reasons. If not, use this ready contrast: both of you value Fairness; one might put it Top 3 for team sport, the other Next 5 behind Family. What does that gap show about ranking?

If you want a portfolio note later, add two lines under your ranking in your Values document in the Digital Portfolio (Strand 1.1): one value that might rise, and what would cause it.

Priority values are the ones that sit highest for you right now, not a permanent list. A card-sort forces a real ranking into Top 3, Next 5, and Matters less right now. Two people can share a value and still rank it differently.

Your Digital Portfolio (Strand 1.1) Values document now holds three columns plus a Top-value paragraph on why your top value is top. That artefact is reusable evidence for later personal-statement work, Applied Learning Tasks, and Portfolio in Action.

Optional stretch: under your ranking, add one sentence naming a value that might rise before Sixth Year, and what would have to happen for that to be true (or keep the two-line note you already started in Think About It).
