  15. Grade 11 Note: Performance Tasks (and their accompanying classroom activities) are recommended but not required for students in grade 11, as state law prohibits the requirement of more than one extended-response item on the Michigan Merit Examination. However, because a single extended-response item is likely insufficient to achieve alignment to Michigan’s high school standards, it is unclear whether the U.S. Department of Education will allow results without Performance Tasks to count for accountability.
