Creating an essay outline: I need help about thesis statement and main ideas [on hold]

So in school I was assigned to create an outline for the essay I'm going to write next month. It's about "English As a Second Language Education In Non-Native Countries; Is Younger The Better?" I created the title, introduction sentence, and the thesis statement. The thesis statement is: The younger the learner is, the more productive their ESL education will be, not only because children are able to comprehend subjects faster and better, but also because they can become a global citizen of the world much earlier in life.
I'm stuck at creating "main ideas" or "body"ies. I don't even fully understand what the main ideas should be, are they supposed to be evidences, or just.. ideas?? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I would look at countries that introduce English to children at various ages and see if this makes a difference to outcomes at 18. I would look at countries where their education system makes a foreign language compulsory (like France where they have to learn it up to 18 even if they are in technical schools). You could consider the evidence shown by children who are immersed in a foreign language - ie they go to school in a country that speaks a different language to the one they speak at home and see how quickly they learn. The amount of lessons a week would make a difference and this may vary with the age of the pupil. You'd need to do quite a lot of research to follow this through but I think you could probably find it on google.
