Start with what injanier said about the location on the other side of Polaris from the Big Dipper. Then look for a star pattern in the shape of a "W". You can't miss it. The "W" is part of the constellation of Cassiopeia.
FYI, groupings of stars like the "W" in Cassiopeia and the "Big Dipper" in Ursa Major are called "Asterisms". An Asterism is a recognizable pattern of stars inside a constellation, but does not include all the stars in the constellation.
In other words, there's more to Cassiopeia than the "W".
Go here to see what I mean:

The "W" in the constellation is a series of connected dots; but the entire constellation is inside the larger yellow boundaries.
Hope this info helped....

On the other side of Polaris (the North Star) from the handle of the Big Dipper. It is currently high in the western sky in the early evening.

If you mean the constellation, find the big dipper and you are looking at it.
