I will correct you.

Ayer tube una clase de español, y tube que trabajar en grupo y nosotros hicimos una historia sobre la capital de España.


I know that it's different but, I feel to it's corrects because, your own text almost not sence in itself build.:)

Yes, you are right, I'm sorry for my mistake.:p

[cmon]

instead of trabajábamos?

[Rusty]

The preterite tense was used because the working had an end.

[cmon]

forgot that the preterite had same ending.
What a jerk!

[Planet hopper]

Trabajamos=we had worked / we worked
Trabajabamos=we had been working/we were working

Tricky field, tenses. Also difficult for Spanish speakers, the english tenses. For example, the distribution going to vs will...lots of rules and at the end of the day a big percentage of sentences would admit both.

All the other translations are fine, but I'll just add one more in an attempt to correct your sentence with the fewest changes possible.
