Stream of Consciousness

So, for right now this blog only serves a purpose for British Lit class, but once the class is over, I plan to convert it to a blog for teaching ideas.  Please remember that I teach 6th grade literature.  I have decided to put together a brief unit on Stream of Consciousness, as a way to give the kids a taste of things they probably will not be exposed to unless it is in a classroom.  I am actually toying with the idea of using it as a component in a two week unit, in which I give them snippits of different things, like some poetry - I think they'll like "Slam Poetry" and won't otherwise think of it, some travel logs from early American, etc.

Since my blog viewers are undoubtedly only other members of the British Lit class, I would like some input.  Do any of you have any ideas?  I was thinking I would read to them a carefully chosen excerpt from "Portrait of a Young Artist" and then do a power point defining Stream of Consciousness.  Any thoughts?
