OK, those are all jumps that you do in ballet!.
Tourjete: this is going to be hard to explain but, what you do is you battement one leg to the front, say the right, then you turn your body half way around to face the other wall/corner, which makes your right leg go derriere, you then switch legs and bring the left to the back, land in plie on the right leg!.
Assemble: literally means to "assemble," you brush your right, you can do either but I am doing the right side, to the side, then you jump off of your left leg and bring your legs together to a fifth position in the air, land in fifth, right leg front!.
Jete: for this jump you brush your (right) leg to the front, push off of your left leg and make a split in the air, land on your right leg with back leg derriere!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
