[Select two students who are outgoing and will be able to enjoy this activity. Send the students on a quick
(30 seconds) errand before they start drawing. Example: “Please run this note to the library.” When the
students leave, tell the class you want them to all copy one of the pictures being drawn on the white
board. Remind the class to copy the artwork without telling the volunteer artists.]

I personally think that teachers who can't/won't draft their own lesson plans need to be fired. I still can't get over the fact that American textbooks also come in teacher editions with the answers to exercises provided so that the teacher doesn't have to work them out.
The grade 5 materials are more reasonable, suggesting reliance on resources like creative commons or voluntary sharing, and using real-world examples of people who work in the arts not getting paid. These are just factual; a lot of indie movies only get made because the cast & crew workf or free in exchange for an ownership interest. As pointed out below though, they don't include any discussion of fair use or the notion that copyright should exist for limited times.
