Orion rises in the East before dawn.  The three stars in the Orion's Belt point to Aldebaran, the red eye of Taurus the bull. Taurus's face is a "V" of stars starting at Aldebaran, pointing to the right.

To the left (North) of Orion, past the bright star Capella, is Cassiopeia, a zig-zag, lightning bolt or lazy "W". The North Star, Polaris, lies below Cassiopeia, by itself and marked on the image above. Point to Polaris and turn like a pole. The sky will appear to turn around Polaris because the Earth also points to Polaris, with its North Pole, and that's why the Sun and stars appear to rise and set - because the Earth is turning.
