There's not much wrong with doing a Hello World:

  main = putStrLn "Hello World"

Or:

  fac n = if n <= 0 then 1 else n * fac (n-1)
  main = print (fac 12)


Compiling, or at least running a haskell script (via runhaskell) should
also get a mention, so you show how to achieve things outside of the
interactive prompt.
