Hi Jennifer,
Quit students are a challenge because you want them to be involved in the course but sometimes this requires a lot of effort.
In addition to the strategies that you shared with us I also use student panels. By assigning students to a panel of 3-4 students where they present on a topic I get my quit students involved at a higher level and for longer periods of time. When the student panel presents I have them sit behind a table. Being in front of the class behind a desk with other students really helps quit students to feel comfortable yet still a part of the class. They don't feel the spotlight is on them when they are presenting because they are sitting down behind a desk with 2-3 other students. This way they can be themselves and share the knowledge they have acquired on the topic.
