Placementwise in an outline, your introduction is first. Basic outlines are such:

I. Introduction
II. Body
III. Body
IV. Body
V. Conclusion

(with basic details under each numeral)

Under your intro and conclusion numerals, your "A, B" (etc) will be what you plan to use for those. Will you open with a story about your topic? A Statistic? Will you end with a restatement of your point? and the like. It's all very basic, you are simply creating the bones of the paper, a road map, so to speak. There's no real exact science to it, just copy out your plan on how you are going to cover the prompt given to you.

The introduction should be about what your outline is about. like 4 to 5 sentances. And the conclusion should just sum it up. Like why it is important. If this doesn't help then ask your teacher or classmates. I am sure they can help.

I don't know what type of paper you're doing, but here are some general ideas for outlines. There are different types of outlines for different types of papers. I'm assuming that you're writing in MLA format. If you have any more questions, ask your teachers or your friends who are also in that class. Here are some links:
