Your Progress Report should use concrete, specific details to describe your group’s work. Tell your reader (me, in this case) precisely what each of you has done and how you’ll complete the remaining work. The examples below demonstrate how to make sure you use details. Revise your Progress Report as necessary.

Rather than general information like this Use specific language like this
We have been making good progress in this class. In the three weeks of class, I have completed all of the writing activities, work logs, and feedback discussions. I have created instructions for conducting interviews with people who use the accessible routes around the construction areas near Shanks Hall on campus. Using these instructions, I interviewed six people, who talked about the strengths and weaknesses of the established accessible routes.
I have scheduled work sessions for completing the remaining research. I have scheduled the following work sessions in order to complete the remaining research:
  • Monday, June 14: Complete online research on the ADA requirements for accessible sidewalks.
  • Tuesday, June 15: Spend time on campus, interviewing at least six more people who are walking among buildings near the construction areas.
  • Wednesday, June 16: Review all research and determine whether any additional data is needed.
I revised my outline. Using feedback from Traci and my classmates, I revised the outline for my recommendation report to add specific subheadings throughout the report. I paid particular attention to match the subheadings from one section to the next so that the connections among the information where clear and easy to follow.
