I do this for generating work reports, but all I do is 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-log-done 'time)
(setq org-log-state-notes-into-drawer t)
#+end_src

To enable logging (second line is to prevent cluttering things up)

Then in the agenda:

press "v l" to enable logging
press "v a" to enable archived trees
press "b" to go back a week.

It also helps that I have

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
; Start weekly view from present day
(setq org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil)
#+end_src

set so that the agenda starts on the current day.

I usually end up generating reports for the last two weeks... I've
considered looking to see if there's a way to set up agenda commands to
generate a list of the last two weeks' tasks so I didn't have to press
back twice, but I haven't tried yet :)

Does that help?
