I've been teaching Haskell for beginners for some (relatively short)
time, and it seems to me that parallel and concurrent programming may be
one very good additional topic.

I particularly like Simon Marlow's tutorial "Parallel and Concurrent
Programming in Haskell" [0]: it's very well written and gives some clear
practical examples.
