In my fifth grade English class the four term themes were Civil War, Holocaust, dog books, and choose-your-own. For the last term I picked Julie of the Wolves, a dog book disguised as a Wolf book.
The two short stories that have really stuck with me are the Ray Bradbury one about the automated home and the Edgar Alan Poe one about the beating heart
“The Veldt” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”? Those two stick with me due to two good readings of it.

The Veldt read by Leonard Nimoy and Tell-Tale Heart acted out by Vincent Price Part 1 and Part 2.
SpongeBob did a episode that was a retelling of Telltale Heart even!
Simpsons also, a bit, iirc.
The fall of the house of usher by Mr Poe was also interesting.
