In Writer's Workshop, teachers have to keep themselves from becoming too focused on gathering so many samples. The purpose of collecting the samples from the students is so that they can become comfortable and great at the ultimate goal of the workshop- publishing. Teachers need to ensure they are frequently having the students go through each step of the writing process. Each time they draft, revise, and edit they get even better at noticing what needs to change to make their writing the best it can be.
This is where publishing comes in.You must give students a goal to move towards or else they feel the writing process was done for no reason. If they know that other people will be viewing their work they will want to raise the bar for themselves and complete better pieces. To keep the students excited about publishing all through the school year the teacher should give them a variety of publishing opportunities. The students can become bored with it if they are publishing to the same people in the same way over and over. It is up to the teacher to keep the projects creative and interesting! They should always be looking for new ways to inspire their students to lift the quality of their writings.
