I don't want to completely write the answer since it's homework and you're supposed to be doing the work. One of the basic formats of a cursor loop is:

LOOP
   FETCH cursor INTO x;
   EXIT WHEN cursor%NOTFOUND;
   --do something
END LOOP;

Maybe that will get you on the right track. Googling for "Oracle cursor" should get you dozens of examples of how cursors are used.
