• First, import the models you wish to use into your application’s views.py file.
• Within the view you wish to use, query the model to get the data you want to present.
• Pass the results from your model into the template’s context.
• Setup your template to present the data to the user in whatever way you wish.
• If you have not done so already, map a URL to your view.
