Sorry, but I have no idea what you are up to or what your teacher is expecting. All I can suggest is that you create some sample situations and sample sentences of each use. Humor helps.

Hi, well may and might mean basically the same-50/50 possibility.
May and can in modern English can both be used for permission, however May is more formal but can is aceepted these days: can I go to the toilet/MayI go to the toilet. Personally I would still use May when asking permission.
Could means it's possible. Not as strong as May/might. It all depends on how the speaker
