If you are teaching synchronization to your students, then make sure you consult a very authoritative and freely available overview of threading and synchronization : Threading in C# by Joseph Albahari.

In the chapter about Synchronization Contexts, he gives an explicit deadlock example.

The "dining philosphers" or something like that is a common example.
It's about people sitting at a round table with a fork in between each plate setting. Eat person requires TWO forks to eat (for some reason) and always claim the left fork first. I forget how it goes but that should be enough to find you the examples of it.
