And your question is? The first thing to do is follow requirement 1, which means you need to set-up T accounts for all of your accounts and all the accounts are given to you. Next you will journalize your transactions for the month. Then you will post your journal entries to your T accounts and get your account balances. Finally you will prepare a Trial Balance from your T accounts.

Very straight forward problem, just a little time consuming, but should take you no more than an hour or so to finish.
