Q: Is it possible to mirror only one display/space/desktop?

I've searched everywhere for an answer, but I just need to know if I'm "googling" the wrong combination of phrases (or if what I'm asking isn't possible).   

My set-up is simple.  Macbook pro connected to a projector via VGA.  I've created another desktop (i.e. added a "space"), dubbed "Desktop 2.  Is there a way that I can have my Desktop 2 constantly being mirrored and routed to the projector, while I still work within Desktop 1? 

For clarification, here's the scenario: I'm a teacher, and I want the student's "warm-up" to be showing on the projector screen from my computer's Desktop 2. While that's happening, I want to be able to be working on things like taking attendance on Desktop 1 without the students seeing (they'd still see Desktop 2's warm-up). 

Thanks in advance for the good or bad news.
