During the preceding week the writer has met with her feedback group who has discussed the work and assisted the writer with the final version. Your feedback group stays constant the entire semester. One is to discuss the writers' works and help her progress. Another is to articulate what you know about writing strategies, etc. Finally, if you're observant, you will learn about your own work by discussing others'.
Workshops take patience and focus.
The writer has to ride out the commentary without commenting, defending, apologizing or otherwise rejecting outright the commentary. The focus should be the writing not the writer, the product not the process. You will provide the group with a copy of that story a week preceding your presentation. The following week, you will initiate a discussion about writing using that particular story. Please stay within discussing the work as writers, not as scholars or literary critics.
