I deal with the silence issue by having the rule of using an
"appropriate" voice. I've been working hard to get the students to
understand that a voice that is appropriate for one activity (such as
sharing an interesting bit from a "fun" book ) can be different from
another activity (such as working on a group activity) is completely
different from an "outside" voice.
