The key word to focus on is, of course, 'progress', since you're probably already sick of the word CHANGE (and believe me, it doesn't get any better).

The texts you should focus on are the ones which study movement forward, ie progress. For example in The Door you've got a metaphorical change (to move through the door indicates that there may be 'a draught' - even a small indicator of progress). You can explain how these texts show the consequences of change, or how a lack of change can stop positive progress from occuring.

Skrzynecki poems all pretty much explore the concept of progress as a result of change... except that Chronic Ward one, which I advise you to stay well away from. Compare the perspectives of Peter and his father/mother, and how they define 'progress' (as a family they migrate to initiate progress; as individuals some of them refuse to change and hence stagnate, and Peter attempts to change and hence develops as an individual).

You probably have to define 'progress' a little more clearly since it's a very vague term. Don't spread yourself too thin!

Good luck
