This is a luxury arrangement. I think I would go with a Thermarest or cot, but this is big time

Where does the freight go?

Free Modular Slab Wood Shed PLANS PDF

Here is a link to the WoodShedDiagram.pdf for building this wood shed:

The plans are courtesy of the EPA, as they want individuals to burn well seasoned firewood. I agree, and have built a few small shed like this using slab wood for money savings.

Van Dwellings: Expediting Fold Down Bed Designs with Pictures

Here are some pictures of vans converted into expediting rigs.

Here is a nice looking Sprinter for sale.  I like the way it has been customized with a folding bed. The folding bed design allows for much more cargo space, and I am guessing this operator could fit up to three skids, which is a common load for expediters.
With all of the RV options, it would be easy to set up a nice Expediting Rig:

Here is an aftermarket sleeper that looks nice:

Here are some more pictures of the folding bed options for expediters.   With all the new commercial van options, many choices are available from manufacturers along with the Sprinter.

This folding bed design is tied into the wheel well, and it appears to have plenty of storage underneath, and the carpeting and other elements make it look neat and comfortable.

English Teacher's Guide to Transforming your classroom environment into a writing workshop

Step 1: Transforming your English Classroom into a Writing Workshop

• Have the fellow writers in your classroom create a journal, and supply each of them with a pencil. 
• Start each class day by habitual journaling* see definition below
• Feel free to start with a prompt from this pdf.(collected off the internet, compiled by Liz Daniell)
• After 5-7 minutes of journaling, change the classroom design into a circular seating arrangement and ask for volunteers to share their journal. Feel free to get the sharing started by sharing your journal.
• Comment (Print, distribute, discuss, and model response using Peter Elbow's Responding to Writing pdf.)
• Share your results, observations, successes and failures under this post's comments. I will respond to all comments.

*habitual journaling-beginning each class period with a 5-7 minute free write.  Have students journal about things they care about such as:

• hobbies
• food
• travel
• movies
• games
• social media
• the topics are endless
• If your are struggling for ideas, please see the prompts pdf. above, or do a search for: "daily writing prompts".

Quote from Peter Elbow's Writing Without Teachers

Writing Without Teachers. Elbow contends there is "a place where there is learning but no teaching. It is possible to learn something and not be taught. It is possible to be a student and not have a teacher." (ix). Teachers are "more useful when it is clearer that they are not necessary." (x). The role of the teacher is to be useful, it is not the teachers role to provide instructions and directions but to help the student do in a more lucid and powerful way what she is already fully capable of doing.
