    2. PLEASE NOTE the changes: In addition to the ** topics (#1,6,7, 8, 9, 17, and 28) that can be duplicated (1 person in each class), the following topic #s can also be done in BOTH classes: #3, 5, 10, 15, 18, 19, 21, 24, 29, 30.  All of these topics can be presented in both classes- as in 2 students, one from each class, can choose the above topics.
