Dear Emily,
That's a pretty bunch of words, and I'm assuming that your teacher is looking to see if you understand them in a concrete way, by using them within a set of given life circumstances. Given circumstances of a story include who, what, where, why and when. You can start by looking at the words and picking a few of them to inspire you, and then decide these elements in advance: Who=characters in your story; Where=where they are in the world and some specifics about the place (urban/rural, place of business/home, work environment etc....); when=time of day/time and/or time of the year, or time period. What=what's happening ... what are the characters doing that would include these terms; Why=what are they trying to achieve? It's also good to give them some kind of obstacle or challenge in accomplishing their goals.
Just brainstorm and make a list.
Some examples of situations (given circumstances) might be an event commemorating Armistice Day during which a family finds out something new and troubling in their family history; might be a story that takes place at the end of WWI during the first Armistice between a family split in two by opposing sides of the war.
I hope that helps kick start some ideas for you!
I'm available to help you with this as a tutor!
