The other options, such as 'A Guide to the Common Core Writing Workshop' and 'If . . . Then . . .

C. 'Writing Pathways'
Explanation
'Writing Pathways' would be the best choice to go if you wanted students to reflect on their writing and set goals for themselves.

The other options, such as 'A Guide to the Common Core Writing Workshop' and 'If . . . Then . . .

The other options mentioned, such as 'A Guide to the Common Core Writing Workshop' and 'If . . . Then . . .

'Writing Pathways' and the 4 unit books are not described in enough detail to determine if they would provide professional models of craft moves.
