# ASSESSMENT STRUCTURE
This assessment task explores historical and philosophical perspectives of a play-based artefact. You can choose what item to use as your visual representation. It might be a doll, a stick or anything that children engage in ‘play’ with.
Once you have your item, you will critically reflect on it in order to understand this object and its use in play from a chosen perspective.

Write up your analysis with the following headings:
Introduction to play-based artefact
Include an image
Briefly describe the object and how or why children use it, how you have seen it used as a play thing or its potential uses
Connection to place
Describe any context, or connections this object has to place.
Analysis using a lens

What do you see when considering this object with this lens? How does it work with or challenge your chosen lens?
