I was thought in implement the project to the two groups of third level of my school, coinciding in time with the animals topic, in my English lessons. Spring of 2020. Suddenly the Covid19 appeared and the school was closed.
Then I had to thing a new way of working adapted to the new situation and our possibilities. The school and pupils had Google Classroom Platform with no many activity. The confinement at home became the opportunity of activate the Classroom and it was our new tool of online work and relation.
I had to adapt my implementation to the classroom. I thought in one activity, the Criteria Classification. For it, I had a video from YouTube. The video was useful.

The students had to cut out labels with characteristics, and stick. That’s involves paper. That’s no possible.
Students had to discuss to do correct elections. Now they can’t discuss. They are at home, alone. Only their families are with them, in any case. Cooperative work is very difficult when 8 years old and online.
Then I decided to adapt the activity. I thought in Google Forms. I sent them a Form with five lists of characteristics, one for mammals, one for birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles They had to answer a multiple choice questionnaire. In relation with the exercise I prepared in the previous PDFI, I write less sentences and I changed some others in order to use easier vocabulary. If they work alone, nobody can help them.

I sent them the video and the form on April, 30th. They had a week to work, until May, 8th. They work at home.
Some days later the date limit I took the results. I sent the work to my 50 pupils. I got 69 answers. Normal, when they answer forms, lots of them repeat the exercise until getting the highest mark as possible.
