If you want students to reflect on their own art making process and experience, then I would suggest looking at what people are doing with choice-based art education or Teaching for Artistic Behaviors (TAB) since they tend to concentrate of idea development and reflection. You can probably find a lot of handouts specifically for the 8 Studio Habits of Mind which TAB tends to structure around.
Here are some resources: Book on choice-based education, Studio Thinking 2 which covers the 8 studio habits, and TAB yahoo group which has a very supportive community.
Remember that literacy development involves four domains: listening and reading which are input based, and writing and speaking which are output based. Equal attention should be given to each domain, because without one, you can't have the other. Believe in the arts ability to support development in all fields, but don't let other subjects take away the qualities that make art wonderful.
Good luck!
Side note: Why not collaborate with their English teacher and have the students develop a story in their class, and then you can open up a variety of mediums and techniques so the students can visualize their narrative? Just an idea...
