Tony Hale AP Master Class

This AP English Language and Composition class is hosted by special guest, Tony Hale, Emmy Award-winning actor (Buster from Arrested Development, Gary from Veep), producer, and author (Archibald's Next Big Thing).

Student Responses:

  • “What resonated with me was Tony Hale’s emphasis on empathy. […] If we take the time and use empathy to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, we can solve a lot more problems than we create.”
  • “Hale’s concept of combatting his tendencies to brood over the future with a demand to himself to escape by saying, ‘Not now’ is inspiring, as he employs a simple solution to such a common, yet daunting problem that teenagers face.”

Janet Yellen, economist and former Chair of the Federal Reserve, joins AP Macroeconomics to help you better understand monetary and fiscal policy.
