How can you prove your innocence? After being falsely accused and placed in prison, the father in The Railway Children is looking for the answer to the question. The children make friends with an elderly gentleman who helps them prove their father is innocent. Scholars work on literacy activities as they read about the adventures of freeing the children's father, including matching vocabulary words and definitions, writing alliterations, and analyzing a cliffhanger.
