Huh? Is "I" supposed to be C major chord? If it is, shouldn't "ii" be D, F#, A? I'm not understanding the purpose of the I, ii, iii, etc. designation. Please 'spain!

The chords that GBK gave are the chords in C Major. 'ii' is D, F, A because those notes are in the key of C Major (and ii is lower case because it's a minor chord). The exception is vii (dimished chord).

The thing is, chords are groups of 3 or more notes played at the same time. Clarinets, barring any advanced multiphonic technique, can only suggest them by playing them one note at a time - arpeggiated. Is that what she means - write a melody using only arpeggio figures? The idea of a progression only exists as you compose a sequence of chords - so is your "piece" supposed to be a sequence of arpeggiated triads (3-note chords)? Otherwise, any melodic line can be harmonized with chords that support it, and the chords would form a chord progression.
I'm confused about what you've been asked to do.

(Apologies in advance to everybody who already knows this stuff)
It's a fairly standard music writing exercise to begin with a chord progression. I, IV, and V just mean the major chords on the root, fourth, and fifth note of whatever key you are using. Minor chords may be lower-cased or be indicated with an added "m" or "-". For example, somebody might suggest that you use
I vi7 ii7 V7 iii7 vi7 ii7 V7 I I7 IV iv I V7 I
If you are not theoretically inclined, you would pick a key - say Bb, if you like to make it easy on clarinet - and play
Bb Gm7 Cm7 F7 Dm7 Gm7 Cm7 F7 Bb Bb7 Eb Ebm Bb F7 Bb
on your keyboard, record it, and play along till you find a tune you like that fits the chords.
And if this doesn't make sense to you, it would help your music if you learned a little guitar or keyboard in the long run, and hung out with somebody who could play accompaniments in the short run.

I think that what everyone is overlooking here is that Maria's assignment was to use "THE clarinet chord progression." This is an esoteric progression, often, but most likely incorrectly, attributed to Stadler and, until recently, known only to freemasons who have achiexed at least the 31st degree.
In its essential form it is: I, V7, I, V7, I.
You can hear it by clicking the above link.
Best regards,

You're kidding, right, Jack?
This is stuff you learn in your first music theory class...if you don't know how to use chordal notation you should ask your teacher to explain it to you. It can get very complicated very quickly.
