It's quite simple. Just redirect the user to the Facebook Auth Page:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
    client_id=...&
    redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/callback&
    scope=user_photos,user_videos,publish_stream

There're several optional parameters you can pass to get the required site.

For further Information just read the corresponding paragraph on the Facebook Documentation ("Authenticating Users in a Web Application"):
