I think you are on the right track, I just think your students need some help in how to respond to your questions. You also asked about how you will collect data to gauge improvements. Have you considered having your students keep a reading journal? This would be one way to show imporvement in not only writing skills, but comprehension skills also over time. Also, how about modeling reading and writing activities with you students, i.e. pose your question for the reading journal, and then model how you would go about answering using think out loud techniques. This activitiy would not only help your students see what an appropriate response looks like, but also they could discover that you also have troubles/problems when trying to figure out what to write. Just some thoughts.
