A workshop for writing is meant to improve your writing. It mostly consists of four parts - minilesson, writing, conferring, and sharing time. Minilesson is when an instructor introduces a specific skill in writing.
In the next step, students try to master the skill by using it in their writings. After that, the instructor takes a look at the individual works and determines the following action to be taken in the workshop. Share time is when students share their works with others.
