Yeraldin,
The single thing that you can begin to do to keep students engaged is instead of just feeding them information and telling them ideas and concepts, question them. Even the students who may not verbally seem to be participating, when posed with a question that they don't have an immediate answer, research shows that they engage. For example, a question like 'what is the anatomical name for our thighbone?'--that isn't a really engaging question to teach the word femur, but if you asked 'Leaving our vertebrae and cranium aside, what do you think would be the worst bone in your body to break?'; a question like that get gears turning.
In conclusion, try to teach with questioning, not lecturing.
