Transplanting Grass

I am not much of gardener (sad but true). My graden has been barren and soil compacted. I have bought strips of lawn grass. How do I plant them in and prepare the soil? Should I leave the strips intact and just place them or should I loosen them and plant them in the ground? I am going to put compost into the soil first. Please help.
