User input to set cal month and year in linux shell script

I am writing a shell script for a linux class and have been unable to determine how to apply the user input to the calendar. I am reading the month and year from the user and need to display the calendar with the indicated month and year.

I'm not sure how to make cal show the month and year entered? Any help would be awesome.
