Calm and take a deep breath. I've been in art classes so I know what these are for.
Sandpaper block: to use to both sharpen charcoal pencils, and to clean your eraser
Tortillian: made of newspaper-like material. It's used to smudge or blend. Normally, I just use my finger because I find it works better, but this is best for finer points. Though you can buy different sizes.
Soft Charcoal: to make charcoal pencils, the charcoal is compressed into a powder. the looser it is, the darker. It's called 'soft'. This is best to be used for dramatic lines and total darkness. Medium is a step up and is basically used all around.
If there are any other items, let me know and I'll try to help.
