As you are at the point of putting together your outline now, it's a good time to remind you of the need to follow native English speaker academic writing style.
Firstly, remember that you have to get to the point in your introduction. After a brief background/lead in from the beginning, you have to state your main idea in the thesis statement at the end of the introduction.
After that, each body paragraph (beginning with a topic sentence - the main idea of that paragraph) should progressively tell the story you want to tell in a logical sequence of ideas. That is, you put together a reasoned explanation, step by step, to show that your thesis statemnt was right (or at least possibly right).
