Well the help pages for many (most?) R functions contain runnable 
examples.

 	example( image )

is one such.

If you want you students to perform a linear regression (say), having them 
read a bit about it, then start R, run

 	example( lm )

then read through the input and output and display the help pages for 
functions that are called is not a bad way to start.

There are BTW numerous books listed at

 	http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-publications.html

which have plenty of runnable code in them.

And there are  as well as online resources 
accessible under 'Documnetation' at

 	http://www.r-project.org/
